FORCE is a European consortium of cancer charities working together to advance patient-centered oncology research across Europe. We are united by a shared vision: to strengthen collaboration, drive innovation, and improve outcomes for people affected by cancer. 
Our mission is to support high-impact, nonprofit-led cancer research, especially in areas with unmet medical needs. As charities, we bring the voices of patients and citizens into research and help shape pragmatic, accessible, and affordable solutions. 

The establishment of the FORCE Consortium is supported by a 4-year Coordination and Support Action (CSA) funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101215179). Through this project, we are building a collaborative framework to implement a Pragmatic Clinical Trial Programme led by cancer charities. 

Together, we are fostering a new model for research - by charities, for patients.
