JANE – Joint Action on Networks of Expertise
JANE - Joint Action on Networks of Expertise is establishing shaping seven EU Networks of Expertise (NoEs) for cancer care- related issues that require cross-border cooperation and European-level know-how. The issues include:
- complex cancers,
- poor prognosis cancers,
- palliative care, survivorship,
- personalised primary cancer prevention,
- ‘omics’ technologies,
- hi-tech medical resources, and
- adolescents and young adults with cancer.
These Networks of Expertise will provide services and tools to European cancer institutions and networks. Five transversal task forces will focus on issues important to cancer-related networking in the EU today, such as integration between healthcare and research, integration of health systems, and electronic health records, including through the use of artificial intelligence tools.
JANE partners with other Joint Actions, networks, and forums to enhance European efforts to tackle cancer, and stakeholder engagement is encouraged through surveys and questionnaires. The main goals of JANE are to launch the NoEs and evaluate existing networking models to optimise the functioning of the NoEs.
By fostering coordinated relationships within the European oncology community, JANE aims to find solutions that allow patients across the EU to benefit from increased knowledge and expertise and more accessible health services.

Results
JANE aims to achieve the following:
- lay the foundations for the launch of the NoEs
- evaluate previous and existing EU networking models with a view to optimising the functioning of the NoEs.
Problems facing current EU healthcare networking models are discussed within the transversal task forces. The outcomes of these discussions will be shared with the European oncology community and Member States through a green paper and at a European conference.
NoEs should be inclusive and involve all relevant communities, with special emphasis on patients. Following the development of the NoEs, potential partners are to be selected, with the final deliverable for each NoE being a call for expressions of interest.
By fostering constructive and coordinated relationships within the European oncology community, JANE will help to find solutions that allow patients across the EU to benefit from increased knowledge and expertise and more accessible health services.
