Validating predictive models of radiotherapy toxicity to improve quality-of-life and reduce side-effects in cancer survivors (REQUITE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
Long-term side-effects of radiotherapy impact on the quality-of-life (QoL) of cancer survivors. These side-effects could be reduced if predicted in advance.

The EU has ~17.8 million people living with a prior diagnosis of cancer of whom ~7 million ...

Cities and science communication: innovative approaches to engaging the public (CASC)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2011,
Science cities are becoming increasingly important across Europe. Their central strategic aim appears to be boosting the knowledge economy nationally and to support the goals defined in the Lisbon strategy. In order to do this, it is important that the ‘triple helix’ of universities and research organisations, business and the public sector work together to ensure that research and development (R& ...
