Join the EU Network of CCCs

This dashboard allows centres to submit the candidature to join the network, and members to manage their membership.

If you have doubts about the joining process, get in touch.

How to join the EU Network of CCCs

Centres interested in joining the European Network of Comprehensive Cancer Centres are invited to submit an initial expression of interest through a short form.

At this stage, we only request a limited set of institutional details. The purpose of this first step is to register your interest and allow the Secretariat to determine how the Centre may proceed in the admission process. The form will also help identify the most appropriate eligibility pathway based on your responses.

If your Centre appears eligible, you will then be contacted by the Secretariat with instructions on the next steps and on how to provide the required documentation. Additional information will be requested only later, and only when relevant to your specific pathway.

Application opens on 30/11/2025 - documents must be submitted by 28/02/2026
