The primary aim of CINNAMON  https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA24115/ is to establish a collaborative network of European centres to standardise, expand, and optimise expertise in CAR-T cell therapies. This includes promoting equitable access to these therapies, fostering innovation in ATMPs, and delivering comprehensive training programmes for scientists, innovators, and clinicians—particularly, though not exclusively, in Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITCs). By bringing together a multidisciplinary community, CINNAMON seeks to bridge existing gaps in knowledge and technology, ultimately enhancing the quality and accessibility of CAR-T therapies.

Program

As part of the program, a Pitching Session for Young Researchers and Innovators (YRI) is hosted. Early-stage researchers are invited to express their interest in participating. This session aims to:

• Showcase the work and ideas of early-stage researchers
• Identify training needs and capacity gaps
• Foster networking and collaboration within the CINNAMON community

Travel Support
Travel and subsistence expenses will be covered by CINNAMON in accordance with COST rules.
