Scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) took part in the kick-off meeting for the Latvia and Luxembourg: Improving Cancer Screening (LLUMINAS) project on 4 February 2026, in Luxembourg. The project is a two-year Technical Support Instrument action funded by the European Union (EU). Implemented by a consortium including IARC and Erasmus MC (the Netherlands), the LLUMINAS project will support Latvia and Luxembourg in strengthening cancer screening and subsequent care, and in aligning programmes more closely with the EU Council Recommendations on cancer screening.
