New EU Missions to tackle major challenges

The European Commission launched five new EU missions to bring concrete solutions to some of our greatest challenges today: adapting to climate change, protecting the ocean, seas and waters, living in greener cities and ensuring healthy soil and food. This is a new way to work under Horizon Europe and an original concept in EU policy, which will involve different instruments, business models and public and private investments at EU, national, regional and local levels with an estimated initial funding to missions of up to €1.9 billion until 2023. Cancer remains a key priority in the EU and EONS strongly supports Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan objective to build a stronger multidisciplinary cancer workforce. Patients deserve the best care possible and cancer nurses across Europe need support to ensure they can receive training and keep updating their skills throughout their professional lives.
