Advancing in the CHallenge of Improving Lymphoma and LEukemia Survival

Objective

ACHILLES is a Doctoral Network (DN) program designed to train the next generation of leaders in hemato-oncology, with a focus on the development of novel therapeutic solutions for hematological malignancies. The network brings together 14 institutions from 10 EU countries and one associated state, along with partners from the biotechnology and drug discovery sectors, including two European policy leaders in hematology, the European Hematology Association (EHA) and the European School of Hematology (ESH). Through this collaboration, ACHILLES will train 16 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) to develop essential skills in experimental hemato-oncology, including the design, development, and preclinical validation of innovative therapies.
ACHILLES is structured around three key scientific objectives (SOs): (1) creating novel experimental models and analytical methods, (2) exploring the oncogenic mechanisms of hematologic malignancies, and (3) developing and validating new therapies, especially targeted treatments for leukemia and lymphoma. The program will integrate cutting-edge technologies such as AI, multi-omics, and computational modeling to push the boundaries of current research and therapy development. These innovations will be applied to generate better diagnostic tools, predict treatment responses, and optimize therapeutic strategies.
With a patient-centered approach, ACHILLES aims to foster both academic and industrial collaboration, bridging gaps between scientific research and clinical application. This initiative aligns with the EU's Beating Cancer Plan, with a particular focus on improving survival rates and treatment accessibility, especially in Widening Countries. Through strong academic-industrial partnerships, ACHILLES will help create a sustainable impact on the field of hemato-oncology, advancing research, therapies, and ultimately the health outcomes of leukemia and lymphoma patients worldwide.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
