Dear SPAGN Members and Friends,

We are always inspired by the initiatives, collaborations, and opportunities emerging from across our global network. Today, we are pleased to highlight several initiatives from SPAGN member organisations that contribute to advancing research and strengthening support for the sarcoma community.

The Bone Cancer Research Trust has announced a new research funding call dedicated to Ewing sarcoma, as well as an Early Career Fellowship supporting the next generation of primary bone cancer researchers.

At the same time, the National Leiomyosarcoma Foundation has launched two new community communication platforms designed to connect patients and caregivers in a safe and supportive space.

We warmly encourage you to explore these opportunities and share them within your networks.

All the best from the
