Convinced that knowledge is one of the first weapons to fight cancer, the Fondation Aventis in partnership with the European Association of Journalists (AEJ) has decided to create the European Cancer Media Prize 2004. This prize is open to all European journalists and will honour 3 reporters who will contribute to increasing knowledge and improving cancer patient management through their publications in print media.
Thus, the Fondation Aventis wants to be a major player in increasing knowledge among the public at large about the mechanisms of the disease, its prevention and patient management in order to create more solidarity of patients and their families. This is turn will hopefully change the way our society looks upon this disease in general.
The top 3 articles will be selected by an independent jury and awarded with a 5.000, 3.000 and 1.000 Euros cash prize from the Fondation Aventis.
