Festival della Salute 2026
2026-05-11 - 2026-05-16 | Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna), Italy
This historic event is the first of its kind in Italy to be dedicated entirely to preventive healthcare and the key concepts for maintaining well-being. One of the event’s main objectives has always been to promote a culture of prevention, encouraging the adoption of appropriate behaviours (physical activity, a healthy diet, reduced alcohol and tobacco consumption, etc.), in order to prevent or reduce the onset of chronic non-communicable diseases of significant epidemiological importance, thereby ensuring the sustainability of the healthcare system in terms of both cost-effectiveness and efficacy.
Our partner i2Grow will be at the event on Saturday May 16, showcasing and promoting the DIOPTRA mobile app.

Cancer Screening and Prevention: From research and scientific evidence to game changing innovation in the clinical practice | Open Day
2026-11-26 | Van der Valk Hotel Liège Sélys, Mont Saint-Martin 9-11, 4000, Liège, Belgium, Liège, Belgium
This Open Day aims at presenting the work developed and results achieved within six RIA projects funded under the HORIZON-MISS-2021-CANCER-02 call of the EU, spanning across different areas of cancer research focusing on Prevention and Early Detection.
The projects – DIOPTRA, SANGUINE, LUCIA, MammoScreen, ONCOSCREEN and PANCAID – were brought together in the framework of the Prevention and Early Detection (including Screening) Cluster that was launched by EU/HaDEA, and collaborated throughout the individual implementations.
As all cluster projects are close to completion, this Open Day aims to elucidate their key findings, experiences, and impact, setting the stage for discussion on innovative achievements, future perspectives, and challenges towards the transformation of scientific evidence into healthcare innovation in everyday clinical practice in oncology.
This Open Day presents an opportunity for EU stakeholders in the cancer field to engage with the collective achievements and innovations of the Cancer Mission Cluster, discuss scientific, clinical, and policy impact, and contribute to shaping the future of cancer research and clinical practice across Europe and beyond.
