The FOSTER consortium (Fight Osteosarcoma Through European Research) proposes to connect multidisciplinary and patient/parent advocate expertise, at a Pan-European level to improve biological, translational and clinical research on osteosarcoma, to ultimately improve survival. With 265 members from across 19 countries, and 8 work packages from biology to late-effects, FOSTER consortium work is overseen by an Executive Committee, with the help of a project manager: to implement a strategic research plan agenda with regular meetings where knowledge sharing can be freely developed; to pursue the aim of gaining a comprehensive overview of current osteosarcoma biology knowledge and trial situation, and thus tackle the current gaps and remaining challenges in osteosarcoma. The FOSTER consortium WEBsite purposes will be improve communication toward professionals from every discipline from biology to clinic, especially young in career investigators, patients and parents whom life have been or are impacted by osteosarcoma and general public. It will communicate on the FOSTER consortium activities, meetings and events, increase visibility of FOSTER consortium, favour multiprofessional European collaborations on osteosarcoma, attract new members to further develop FOSTER consortium activities, seek funding for the operation of the consortium and the studies that will result from its work.
