The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
The CoCanCPG coordinating activities have been conceived as a four-step process; each one of these steps representing an increased cooperation level among the consortium members. The coordinating activities will be taken along the route to setting up a European and International Program of research and development on Cancer Clinical Practice Guidelines. They will include:
1. Identification of key processes in the management of Guideline development and research and benchmarking of best practices among partners;
2. Definition of available knowledge to be shared and best practices for sharing;
3. Conception and implementation of a common knowledge sharing platform to reduce efforts and resources duplication.
1. Analysis of complementary and synergic expertise and activities among national and regional programs;
2. Identification of barriers that may hinder the contribution and use of results of future joint trans-national activities. Solutions to overcome identified barriers and an action plan to implement them will be defined;
3. Improvement of the exploitation of shared knowledge by analyzing diverse transferability mechanisms between various cultural and organizational contexts;
4. Identification and preparation of piloting of common strategic activities as an initial step towards the implementation of joint activities.
1. Running-up cooperative actions;
2. Development of mechanisms to adapt the results issued of the CoCanCPG trans-national activities to national and regional situations and policies taking into account the organizational and cultural diversity of the participating countries;
3. Creation and implementation of trans-national training programs;
4. Analysis of joint activities benefits to prepare a joint action plan.
1. Identification of mutually relevant priority topics to be initially implemented;
2. Publication of a joint trans-national call for proposals;
3. Development of a common long term vision on management of Cancer CPG programs and proposition of future development axes;
4. Definition of mechanisms and of an infrastructure for trans-national sustainable cooperation on Cancer CPG research and development.
