Since its creation, the Institute of Cancer Research (IRC) has made a strong commitment to the development, organisation and promotion of cancer research in Morocco.

It is in this perspective that the IRC has developed a dynamic strategy aimed at federating cancer research actors through the establishment of networks of Researchers, PhD students and Research Structures associated with the IRC.

The project to create a scientific network has several objectives:

1. To federate resources and create synergies;
2. Strengthen the visibility of researchers and research structures in the field of oncology
3. Create an environment conducive to competitive research.

This network will allow the researcher to :

1. Apply to calls for projects (AAP), consortia and calls for mini projects (AAmP)
2. Be informed and participate in the different events organised or co-organised by the IRC
3. To participate and be an active member in the different innovative approaches (Moroccan Oncology Big Data, biobanks, digital pathology, regional projects, engineering, artificial intelligence, OMICS…)
4. To be given priority and an advantage in participating in courses and training (face-to-face or distance learning)
5. To be informed, to participate and to integrate international projects, collaborations and partnerships.

The areas of interest identified are the following :

1. Epidemiology and Public Health
2. Clinical Research
3. Clinical Trials
4. Humanities, Social Sciences, Law and Health Economics
5. Biopathology and Biomedical Research
6. New Technologies, Innovation, Engineering and Information Systems
