RESEAU DES SIRICS

THE SIRIC LABEL

The SIRIC label is a flagship program of the cancer plan aimed at identifying and supporting "Integrated Cancer Research SItes" in France meaning sites that bring together state of the art and internationally renowned medical services and multidisciplinary research teams (biology, chemistry, physics, maths, preclinical and clinical research, human and social sciences...). The label is awarded bases on an ambitious scientific program lead by these teams. 

SIRICs have a triple mission: integration, structuring, and use of research results :

  • Elaborate and conduct a certain number of integrated research programs within a national and international collaborative network. The ultimate objective is to reduce the incidence of cancer and its mortality and to improve patient care.
  •  Establish the necessary infrastructure and resources to conduct research responding to the criteria of excellence, innovation, integration, multidisciplinarity and transfert to the clinic (technological platforms, research support structures, protected time for clinicians, attractiveness for new researchers etc.)
  • Ensure the application and dissemination of results and acquired knowledge

SIRIC AT INSTITUT CURIE

Institut Curie was one of the first centres endorsed with Centre Léon Bérard in 2011. This endorsement was renewed in 2018 and 2022. Each scientific program builds on the previous one and reinforces the structuration of the care-research continuum.
