In 1976, the EORTC Foundation was established by Royal Decree under the laws of the Kingdom of Belgium as an international association under Belgian Law with the specific aim of obtaining funds for the support of the activities of the EORTC, to support the structure of the organization and to support independent academic research projects. It receives the majority of its funds from National Cancer Charities. All the major European National Cancer Charities which support the work of the EORTC are represented in the General Assembly, as well as the Hong Kong Cancer Fund and distinguished lay members.
In March 2006, the EORTC Foundation changed its name to The EORTC Charitable Trust to take account of recent changes in Belgian Law. The aims of The EORTC Charitable Trust remain exactly the same.
The Charitable Trust records with sadness the death in December 2010 of Mrs. Marianne Boel from Denmark. She was a most dedicated and active member of our Council for many years until she died.
We remember her with gratitude and affection.
The Honorary President is H.R.H. Princess Astrid of Belgium, and the Chair is Sir Christopher Mallaby.
Sir Ronald Grierson, Past-Chair, is now the Honorary Vice-President of The EORTC Charitable Trust.
