ENITEC

European Network of Individual Treatment in Endometrial Cancer

ENITEC

About

ENITEC in a pan-European academic network of clinical and translational researchers in gynaecological oncology founded in 2012.

Mission

Our mission is to unite multidisciplinary experts on uterine cancer to promote high-impact translational research with a common goal to improve the health and well-being of women with uterine cancer.

Vision

We are an internationally recognised research network in uterine cancer, our discoveries lead to improved patient outcomes and set new benchmarks in clinical practice.

Objectives

  1. Uniting leading experts. We are an open network that brings together professionals from clinical practice, applied research, and translational research. We foster a collaborative environment where innovation thrives.
  2. Positioning as an internationally recognised network on uterine cancer. The combined expertise of our members in translational research aims to improve patient care. Our representatives are actively involved in key networks and platforms, including IGCS, ESGO Council, ENYGO, ENGAGe, EORTC, and ESMO.
  3. Data and sample collection and sharing. We establish robust standards for translational research, including but not limited to data and sample collection. These standards are disseminated among members to facilitate seamless collaboration across various groups.
  4. Promoting excellence through collaborative research. We facilitate cooperation among academic groups in the network, with external partners, and with industry partners to conduct top-edge research pursuing collaborative scientific projects. This collaborative environment accelerates the translation of research findings into clinical practice.
  5. Supporting opportunities for grants and funding. ENITEC facilitates and supports collaboration to apply for local, regional, European and international grants, thereby enabling the advancement of our research.
  6. Establishing a comprehensive system to promote the education and development of clinical and translational members. This includes:
    • Systematic Education Program: We provide opportunities tailored specifically for members to enhance their knowledge and skills (clinical, translational and patient perspectives).
    • Exchange Program: We facilitate the exchange of members between groups, fostering collaboration and the sharing of innovative ideas across our network.
