Work Package 2: To promote EURACAN initiative Start month: 1 End month: 12 Work Package Leader: 2.1 Elaborate communication/dissemination strategy: A communication plan / strategy will be developed by M12, which will detail all upcoming communication actions, means, tools which will be developped by year 2 and onwards (flyers, press releases, etc. ) if not started before. The communication/dissemination plan development will be lead by the TTF on comm/diss, and will cover all domains. Target groups and dedicated actions will be identified for each domain. 2.2 Developping and updating web-based communication platform: The will develop and provide a web-based communication platform linked to the websote, including a secured area, to secure the internal communication between all members and associate partners, to ensure an operational functioning of the Network. This will be done in close contact with the other ERN to share tools as much as possible. 2.3 Developping communication/dissemination tools: This first year will concentrate on the development of the EURACAN website and communication platform, essential tools to (1) the wide dissemination of information on the Network and on its planned actions to a wide audience, and (2) Page 4/9

Work Package 3: To share and promote healthcare best practices Start month: 1 End month: 12 Work Package Leader: 3.1 Reviewing EURACAN national laws/regulations/procedures framework: The Quality TTF together with national representatives from each of the participating countries will be consolidating and reviewing the national regulations with potential impact on the activities of EURACAN. A summary report of this wrk will be submitted by M12. Please complete 3.2 Developing first set of harmonised CPGs: This work has already been initiated with the ESMO group, an academic group partner of EURACAN and will be pursued with other partner stakeholders. The strategy will be to work on an update of the exisiting ESMO guidelines of the different domains and to fill the gaps for those tumors not covered in the previous versions. Most EURACAN participants were actually involved in these guidelines in the past. EURACAN provides the opportunity to prepare an updated and exhaustive set on guidelines for the rare cancers. This task is scheduled for 2017. For specific tumor types (eg chordoma) or domains (eg, specific guidelines have sometimes been developped at a national or international level. The consistency of the different corpus of available guidelines with be assessed by the domain leaders and the Guidelines Task Force to provide a unified and consensus guideline corpus from the EURACAN ERN.Please complete. Activities: review of existing guidelines per domain, selection, harmonisation, edition of ERN-EURACAN CPGs, translation in 10 MS languages, official information to professionals firstly via ESMO and EURACAN websites 3.3 Referencing EURACAN databases, resources, registries..: A review of the existing health authorities approved databases and registries active in the different countries will be performed by each domain. Several of these databases are already multinational (eg conticabase, conticagist, conticabone). For all domains, the collection of exisiting databases will be performed during the first 6 months. An analysis of the oppotunities to expand these databases across countries(both on legal and logistic aspects will also be conducted by the domain leaders). Please complete 3.4 Defining and implementing Training, education/exchanges strategy and plan (see for details Network application form - Appendix B measure 8.1.1): The strategy plan for development of teaching and training will be generated by the middle of year one, together with our partners and patients, ESMO, ESO, ECCO, ESSO and other relevant stakeholders. The precise content of the courses and MOOC and other training action will be defined discussed and validated in the scope of the TTF on Training/Education based on a review of the needs per domain.
