Project brief:

The project is implemented within the Operational Program Education for Competitiveness, Priority Axis 2 Tertiary Education, Research and Development, Support Area 2.4 Partnership and Networks.

The target group of the project are professionals of health care facilities (especially complex oncology centers), academic staff of universities (operating outside of NUTS 2 Prague) and postgraduate students of medical fields, especially oncology (studying outside NUTS 2 Prague). .

The aim of the project is to extend the professional skills of academic and medical staff, professional oncologists and to strengthen their mutual professional communication. The project will provide a shared information learning platform for connecting complex cancer centers and universities using modern information tools that will ensure the long-term sustainability of established partnerships even after the project has ended. Specifically, it will be the building of a central interactive application and a common data reference warehouse connected with local applications implemented in individual centers. The central application will make relevant, target group information unavailable for anti-cancer care and its results directly from the information sources of healthcare facilities.

Project implementation is planned for 24 months.
