CRIS Cancer Foundation

Who we are

CRIS Cancer Foundation is an independent international non-profit organisation, fully dedicated to facilitating and developing research to beat cancer.   

CRIS was created for those who believe in science and the future.

By funding research through significant partnerships with The Institute of Cancer Research
(ICR), London and other research centres across Europe, CRIS is having a positive impact on medical discoveries and making a real difference to peoples´ lives.   

CRIS’s objectives are:   

• investing in cutting edge cancer research projects   

• funding research for rare and underfunded forms of cancer  

• sharing research findings

• funding translational projects to get new and effective treatments   

• giving hope to individuals and families affected by cancer 

CRIS Cancer is currently funding 12 research projects across Europe. As part of our objective to fund rare and underfunded forms of cancer.

We know progress isn't happening fast enough. We need to do more, if we're aiming to find a cure. And we need to do it now. That's why we're investing in cutting-edge research: research that is more forward thinking.

Together, we can ensure that every child and adult with cancer has access to the best possible treatment. Take this opportunity to be part of a community that brings transformation. 

United we are strong. United we will beat cancer.
