EU Navigate

Overview

Project Summary

EU Navigate is an intercontinental, interdisciplinary and intersectoral research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme, with grant agreement no. 101057361 (2022-2027).

A fast-growing number of older people with cancer and their family carers living in the community have the right to receive timely access to health and social care services. Yet, many of them still do not receive the health and social services they need, and they are also not always aware that these services exist. Navigation interventions using specially-trained lay navigators hold promise to meet this increasing demand.

The EU Navigate consortium consists of eight research partners, one affiliated entity, and three dissemination partners. We are located in Canada and Europe, in particular Belgium, Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal and Italy.

Main Goals

In the next five years, the EU Navigate research project will contribute high-quality evidence on navigation programmes for older people with cancer and their families.

We aim to develop and implement NavCare-EU, an innovative navigation programme, and evaluate its effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in improving the quality of life and well-being of older people with cancer and their family caregivers, as well as how it is implemented in practice.
