General Information
The Egyptian Cancer Research Network was launched in July 2010 on a 4 million EGP infrastructure grant from the Science and TECHNOLOGY Development Fund. Current members of the network are Alexandria University, Cairo University, Assiut University and Menofia University. Currently we have three active research programs.The ECRN aims to provide links between the various cancer research professionals in the country. These links should facilitate the design and implementation of research studies in cancer by enabling researchers to identify and locate resources and expertise that may not be available to them at their own institutions and hence plan collaborative work that may not be possible for a single institution separately. This network should also enhance the conduction of large scale research studies that require the participation of multiple institutions, the identification of National research priorities in the field of cancer and the process of technology transfer among Egyptian research institutions. We currenlty have several active research programs, each with its own grant funding.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to establish functional links between cancer research groups operating in Egyptian universities and research centres that enable them to share resources and expertise, conduct large multicentric and multi-institutional studies, address nationwide cancer research priorities and provide a robust evidence base for strategic planning for cancer health services Nationally and regionally.
We aim to expand our network regionally and internationally ; as well as our role . Thus by promoting and facilitating research partnerships that allow colleagues across cultures to get to know each other from a starting point of a joint perspective, and hence allow cross-cultural flow of communication alongside research activities with the purpose of enhancing peace, tolerance and understanding between cultures.
We hope that by participating in the AFL network, we will be able to benefit from the connections with colleagues worldwide and at the same time we hope to be able to offer a means for spreading AFL mission among Egyptian researchers.

Main Projects / Activities

Work Agenda:
1– To assemble a directory of research institutions and organizations involved in cancer research in Egypt
2– To assemble a directory of individual researchers and their specific areas of expertise and contact details
To conduct open discussion forum alongside local and National conferences that aim to identify National priorities in cancer research and possibilities for collaboration on specific projects
3– To develop research programs that shall be conducted in collaboration among the network members
4– To locate and advertise funding opportunities for cancer research
5– To connect with regional and international cancer research organizations
