European Association for Cancer Research

The formation of organisations and societies within all areas of scientific research facilitates the bringing together of researchers in a given field and serves to aid communication, collaboration, progress of science and career development. Even greater gain can be attained when individual organisations form partnerships to complement each other's activities and to increase the scope of their endeavours. Within this editorial, we highlight the key points of a new partnership formed between two non‐profit bodies within cancer research, the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) and Molecular Oncology, a journal wholly owned by the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS).
