Cyprus Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) is an independent organisation comprising a coalition of the leading academic, clinical, and diagnostic partners in cancer research; the University of Cyprus (UCY, academic), the Bank of Cyprus Oncology Centre (BoCOC, clinical), and the Karaiskakio Foundation (KF, diagnostics). It is a true interdisciplinary network creating a local, regional, and international lighthouse for dedicated basic & translational cancer research.

Contribution
By fostering the creation of a National Cancer Mission Hub, CCRI will implement strategies to increase awareness at a national level and engage relevant stakeholders for establishing new connections and promote their participation in major political and policy dialogues.

Expectations
CCRI expects the establishment of transnational collaboration networks for the active engagement of stakeholders and citizens in policy changes.
