Organisation and Strategy

Organisation

Danish Cancer Institute currently houses 18 research groups (one additional is being recruited) and five core facilities. You can get an overview at our organisational chart.

To help us set the strategy and to discuss our performance, a Scientific Advisory Board has been established.

See the members here.

Our strategy describes our focus areas and the prioritized actions towards realizing our mission of impactful cancer research. 

DCS Research Policy

The Danish Cancer Society has adopted a research policy, which is currently in translation.

Research Integrity

The Danish Cancer Society adheres to the Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity from 2014 and to the Danish law on Research Integrity from 2017 .

Danish law distinguishes between scientific misconduct (fabrication, falsification, plagiarism) and questionable research practice (i.e. violation of generally accepted standards for responsible research practices). All Cases of potential research misconduct will be handed over to the  Danish Committee on Research Misconduct, whereas those concerning questionable research practice will be handled by an internal committee at the Danish Cancer Society.

Research Reports

Being a research institute in an NGO comes with certain obligations. Our research must have an impact, in the scientific community as well as on society. We report on our research activities annually, and you can read the reports below:
