Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

• EUStrategyDanubeRegion The main objective of the project is in line with the 3rd specific area of action of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region "Increasing prosperity in the Danube region". Through the joint actions of workshops, knowledge transfer, providing know-how on cases of cancer and the elaboration of joint protocols, the project contributes to PA7 "To develop the knowledge society through research, education and information technologies". The partnership between Ro and Hu institutions facilitates the administrative cooperation of communities living in the border regions and contributes to PA10 "To step up institutional capacity and cooperation" and to the IV objective of EUSDR, "Strengthening the Danube Region".
• TerritorialAgenda2030 The main objective of the project is in line with the Territorial Agenda 2030 which is a strategic framework developed by the European Union (EU) to guide and coordinate territorial development policies and initiatives across European regions. It serves as a long-term vision and roadmap for territorial development in Europe, with the goal of achieving more balanced, sustainable, and inclusive growth across regions. The Territorial Agenda 2030 builds upon the previous Territorial Agendas, such as the Leipzig Charter and the Territorial Agenda 2020, and takes into account the changing economic, social, and environmental challenges facing the EU.
• Other The strategic Development Plan of the University of Szeged at certain items answers the needs of the region, since the University of Szeged, setting an example itself in social responsibility, as one of the largest organizations of the Southern Great Plain Region, feels a special responsibility to take an active role in shaping the social, economic and cultural development of the region, to promote health prevention and improve the quality of live through excellent medical work. Our project serves those aims of the Strategic Plan which prioritize the infrastructural and technical development of the oncological care provided by the university’s Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical Center. Our project also connects to the aim to develop or improve the quality assurance system controlling the high standard medical care.
• Other Hungarian National Cancer Control Programme - The investment into medical devices and the trainings planned in this project will serve the above objectives of the Hungarian National Cancer Control Programme. First of all, high level of quality control achievable with the dosimetry equipment ensures the uniform and higher quality of the treatments delivered; moves the Oncotherapy Clinic toward the level of OECI-EEIG (Organization of European Cancer Institutes) members, where we intend to accredit our Clinic (https://www.oeci.eu/). This project also meets the objective of the Programme to improve the equipment to be able to provide equal health care and treatment services for different cancer patient groups including those living in rural area of South-East Hungary. Standard operation of the Radiation Department of the Clinic will be faster because good measuring devices and the software registering and logging all procedures will reduce the time of quality control measurements providing more capacity for treatment time. Educational training for colleagues from different smaller Hungarian cancer care departments, like Kecskemét and Gyula, serves Objective 14 of the Programme.
