Discover the Understanding (tumour-host interactions) Cluster projects through our video and brochure

The Understanding (tumour-host interactions) Cluster brings together six EU-funded projects – ARTURO, GLIOMATCH, HIT-GLIO, MULTIR, SPACETIME and THRIVE – to advance research on cancer development and contribute to Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. Read more about the cluster and its project on our dedicated page.

Joint communication and dissemination

As part of the Communication and Dissemination working group, we’ve created joint cluster materials. Explore our new brochure and introductory video to learn more about the cluster’s objectives, collaboration areas and joint impact.

GLIOMATCH results contribute to new EIC-funded project GLIOBREAK

Results from GLIOMATCH are supporting the newly funded EIC Transition project GLIOBREAK, coordinated by Beactica Therapeutics and with the involvement of KU Leuven. The project will advance BEA-17, a first-in-class LSD1–CoREST degrader, towards clinical readiness, including IND-enabling studies and regulatory submission.

International Childhood Cancer Day 2026

On International Childhood Cancer Day, GLIOMATCH highlights the urgent need for research into paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs), rare and aggressive brain tumours affecting children. With a median survival of just over one year and no curative treatment available, collaborative research efforts are essential to better understand the disease, develop dedicated models, and tailor therapies that improve outcomes and quality of life for young patients and their families.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026

GLIOMATCH celebrates the women researchers across its consortium whose expertise and commitment drive the development of tailored immunotherapies for malignant brain tumours, marking the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026.
