IT’S THE END OF TRANSPAN AS WE KNOW IT (AND I FEEL FINE)*

The EU-COST grant for TRANSPAN has officially ended on 10 October 2026, but TRANSPAN does not end here.

We all have put a lot of work into building this network, and we are hoping to keep it alive for the foreseeable future. While we will not have anymore financial resources for TRANSPAN, there are a number of things that will remain: the website, the mailing list, our social media presence, possibly virtual workshops and training schools. The webinars will continue.

Most importantly, we remain committed to using TRANSPAN to facilitate new research projects for research on pancreatic cancer. As you are already aware, we are working on an application for a new COST grant that should follow up on the steps of TRANSPAN.

To keep everybody on the same page, we are starting this newsletter. The idea is to provide a quick summary of important things happening in the TRANSPAN community, which will go out periodically on the website and on the mailing list. We hope that you will enjoy it and that it will keep up the interest.

Federico, on behalf of the website/newsletter task force.
