The INTERACT-EUROPE 100 project aims at implementing the Inter-specialty Cancer Training Programme (ISCTP) based on the curriculum developed under the INTERACT-EUROPE project: https://www.europeancancer.org/eu-projects/impact/interact-europe

The objective of the ISCTP is to foster a person-focused approach to quality cancer care through the promotion of interdisciplinary and inter-professional teams working across Europe.

The project will critically review the current state of inter-specialty cancer training resources, identify existing quality learning materials and produce innovative learning resources to meet the requirements of the ISCTP and ensure the needs of people with and affected by cancer across Europe are addressed. A dedicated digital learning management system adapted to the needs of oncology professionals will be established to support the decentralised implementation of the ISCTP for trainers and participants.

The activities linked to the training of trainers will target experts in the fields of clinical oncology, surgery, radiation oncology, cancer nursing and other specialised staff from at least 100 cancer centers in Europe and will ensure the future sustainability of the ISCTP in EU Members States. Local and international events for trainers will facilitate the exchange of best learning practices and establish an EU network of inter-specialty cancer trainers to achieve best patient outcomes.
