Who we are
SIRIC-Curie is Institut Curie’s program which is conducted in partnership with the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).
Our missions
This SIRIC endorsement should enable a veritable qualitative and quantitative leap in research organization in order to meet challenges identified with current knowledge and anticipated needs in the coming years. Source: INCa
In order to reach this objective the SIRICs have a triple mission: integration, structuring, and use of research results :
- Mission 1: 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.
- Mission 2: 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.)
- Mission 3: Ensure the application and dissemination of results and acquired knowledge
Our organization
To carry out these missions we are supported by a steering committee, an international scientific advisory board and a number of workgroups.
