The partnership between KWF Dutch Cancer Society and the Netherlands Cancer Institute goes back to 1951 and is built on a shared ambition: to accelerate progress against cancer and improve the lives of patients. Together, we work to strengthen the connection between scientific discovery, clinical practice and societal impact.
This long-standing collaboration combines structural support for high-quality cancer research with a shared focus on three themes:
- Patient impact – helping scientific insights reach clinical practice faster
- Quality of life – improving life during and after cancer treatment
- Access to treatment – exploring new ways to develop, register and reimburse cancer therapies
In 2024, KWF and the NKI extended their cooperation for another five years.
