PIONEER is a European Network of Excellence for Big Data in Prostate Cancer, consisting of 32 partners, including ecancer, across 9 countries. Our goal is to ensure the optimal care for all European men living with prostate cancer by unlocking the potential of Big Data and Big Data analytics.

Dr Alex Asiimwe discusses his involvement in PIONEER as EFPIA lead and also some of the challenges involved with managing a consortium involving both academic and industry partners.
