Description
This funding opportunity supports the piloting and implementation of lung cancer screening programmes across EU Member States. The aim is to enhance early detection, improve programme efficiency, and reduce disparities in access and outcomes. The action places special emphasis on integrating innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and leveraging synergies with other EU projects and initiatives, including the European Cancer Imaging Initiative and Cancer Image Europe platform. It encourages collaboration among national and regional studies, links experts and patient organisations, and promotes knowledge exchange and dissemination of best practices to strengthen the evidence base for lung cancer screening, particularly using AI-based solutions.
