News about the EORTC Liaison Offices in the United Kingdom and in France

This month a new UK-based EORTC Liaison Officer, Liz Flackett (e.flackett[at]ncrn.org.uk), joined the EORTC Liaison Office in the UK. This Office is jointly supported by the EORTC, the National Cancer Research Network (NCRN) and Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has taken her position. In June, a Liaison Office in France will be set up in partnership between the EORTC and the Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC).

These Liaison Offices are aimed at fostering collaborative clinical cancer research between the EORTC and other international cancer research organisations and also supporting EORTC members in order to facilitate administrative and regulatory aspects of conducting EORTC trials.
