Platform objectives
Integrate multi-source evidence
Bringing together policy, economic, behavioural data and survey results into a single, coherent resource.
Enable cross-country comparison
Supporting side-by-side analysis of cancer prevention indicators across seven European countries, surfacing East–West disparities.
Serve diverse stakeholders
Delivering tailored insights for policymakers, researchers, journalists, civil society, and the private sector through a shared platform.
Translate research into action
Bridging the gap between academic findings and practical decision-making in cancer primary prevention.
Promote data accessibility
Making complex, multi-level data navigable and interpretable — from European meta-level down to national and regional contexts.
Support evidence-based advocacy
Providing stakeholders with credible data to strengthen policy arguments, funding cases, and public communication.
Stakeholder benefits
Public Sector
Access cross-country benchmarks and economic evidence to build the policy case for cancer prevention investment.
Academia & Research
Explore integrated, multi-source datasets and identify research gaps across seven countries in a single environment.
Media
Find credible, data-driven stories on cancer prevention with the context needed to report accurately and compellingly.
Civil Society
Ground advocacy in hard evidence — from community-level survey data to national policy gaps and economic burden figures.
Private Sector
Understand population health trends, regulatory landscapes, and the economic cost of inaction to inform responsible strategy.
Multi-Level Data Framework
The platform organises data across multiple geographic levels, from the continental scale to the individual.
The meta level provides the European-wide policy and regulatory context that frames each topic. The macro level presents national indicators, enabling direct comparison across the seven consortium countries — four EU Member States (Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, and Portugal) and three non-EU countries (Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, and North Macedonia). The meso level draws on subnational patterns from the “Cancer Prevention Literacy and Information on Cancer Primary Prevention” to reveal regional variation within countries. Finally, the micro level incorporates Living Lab data from Romania and Bulgaria, adding hyperlocal, community-specific insights as Stage 2 data becomes available. Together, these levels allow users to move fluidly between the broader European perspective and the realities on the ground.

MACRO-LEVEL
National aggregated data (WP2 / WP3 / T4.1)
Comparable international sources (e.g. Eurobarometer, GBD, EU Cancer Country Profiles, WHO)
Primary analysis level - 7 country profiles with policy, economic, and survey data
MESO-LEVEL
Regional level
Data aggregated nationally; regional specificities to be explored in correlation with T4.2 / T4.3 campaign findings
Demographic filtering (gender, age) available as proxy for subgroup analysis
MICRO-LEVEL
Human stories from WP5 Living Labs
Qualitative citizen narratives (Romania, Bulgaria)
Discussing the human behind the dots - humanising data and connecting people with statistics
Information Architecture
The platform is structured around five core sections: a landing page introducing the platform's purpose and stakeholder framework; seven country profile pages — one per consortium country — each presenting T4.1 survey results, WP2 policy indicators, and WP3 economic burden data in a consistent, comparable format; an about page explaining the project context, methodology, and data sources; and a methodology and references page providing full documentation of analytical frameworks and source materials. This architecture was designed to support both focused, single-country exploration and broader cross-country discovery, with each country page following a shared template that makes comparison intuitive.
