ESMO Foundation

The ESMO Foundation is a charitable not-for-profit organisation that supports the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) in its strive to improve the fight against cancer and the care of cancer patients. 

During our lifetime each of us or our loved ones face the possibility of being afflicted with cancer. Therefore, it is more important than ever to join forces to fight this devastating disease. The ESMO Foundation supports the development of the necessary resources to fight against cancer, i.e.:

  • highly -qualified healthcare professionals
  • developed healthcare infrastructures and services
  • competitive research, training and knowledge transfer

The ESMO Foundation allocates grants and awarding fellowships in close collaboration with ESMO and develops specific actions like organising training courses for health professionals, seminars for patients and their relatives and fostering contacts with different stakeholders.
