AI in Oncology by 2030 Strategy Lab
Designing resilient cancer care systems

   
 In collaboration with

Shaping the Future of Oncology with AI

On 5 October 2026, EDHEC Business School’s Management in Innovative Health Chair and Unicancer, together with Ethik-IAand IRCAD France, will host the AI in Oncology by 2030 Strategy Lab: Designing Resilient Cancer Care Systems at the EDHEC Campus in Paris.  

Against the backdrop of significant regulatory change in Europe, the effective deployment of AI tools within cancer care systems depends on the ability to prioritise high-value use cases and develop functional roadmaps. Such strategic decision-making relies on access to transversal expertise to ensure that implementation is designed for results and resilience. In expert-led working groups offered in English or French, participants will employ Strategic Foresight methods to establish a robust vision for the use of AI in European care by 2030, guided by a central question: "What needs to change by 2030 for AI in oncology to move from pilots to routine, safe and scalable use in cancer care across Europe?"

The key takeaways and concept notes developed by the working groups will contribute to awhite paper to be published following the event.

Why Attend?

For Clinicians and Administrators

AI in Your Clinical Setting  
AI tools are arriving faster than hospitals can integrate them. For oncology teams, AI adoption means deciding when a tool is clinically mature, what evidence is sufficient, how responsibility is documented, and how the tool changes diagnosis, treatment planning, follow-up, reporting or coordination of care. For hospital administrators, it means creating the conditions for use beyond a pilot. This includes the investment case, contracting, legal and operational risk, coordination between clinical, IT and data teams, data access, staff capacity and monitoring after deployment. 

Work in the Strategy Lab 
Participants will identify barriers inside cancer centres, compare implementation constraints and define priority actions for clinical teams, hospital management and decision-makers. The work will focus on practical conditions for adoption, including decision rights, reliable data, usable workflows, implementation capacity and governance after deployment. 

Tools to Take You Forward  
Participants will return to their organisations with a basis for evaluating AI tools in oncology, covering clinical evidence, workflow impact, data requirements, accountability, compliance and post-deployment monitoring. The workshop will also identify implementation approaches that can support internal decisions with clinical committees, hospital management, IT and data teams.  

Contribute to the White Paper  
The working groups’ conclusions will inform a post-event white paper. Reflecting the barriers, priorities and recommendations identified by participants, the white paper will focus on the practical conditions needed for AI adoption in oncology across European cancer care systems. 

For Industry Professionals

Understanding AI deployment environments
For pharmaceutical, medical technology, and digital health professionals, adoption in oncology is decided where a solution meets hospital reality. Hospitals look for clinical evidence, connection with existing systems, lawful use of health data, cybersecurity, accountability and the resources needed to maintain the solutions in practice. By 2030, companies will also need to work within the European Health Data Space (EHDS), the European Artificial Intelligence Act and stricter expectations on data governance, validation and cyber-readiness.   

What Clarity Looks Like 
By hearing from clinicians, hospital buyers and data regulation experts you’ll gain the big-picture insights that will reveal where your AI strategy aligns — or doesn't — with what the ecosystem will adopt. Come away with a refined understanding of what evidence is needed, what data conditions must be met, and which hospital teams need to be involved.   

Contribute to the White Paper 
The working groups’ conclusions will inform a post-event white paper. Reflecting the barriers, priorities and recommendations identified by participants, the white paper will focus on the practical conditions needed for AI adoption in oncology across European cancer care systems.

Frequently asked questions

Is the event in person or online?

This is a 100% in-person event. We prioritise direct exchanges and networking to facilitate collaboration between participants, which is especially important during the small-group working sessions.

What is a "strategy lab"?

This programme is designed to go beyond high-level conference roundtables with expert-facilitated working groups on a dedicated topic. Before the event, participants will be provided a clear methodology outline for how to approach the challenge in order to best reach a quality outcome.

We feel this elevates this event above a simple workshop, enabling participants to develop a shared vision of priorities and key recommendations to make that vision real. 

What are some of the participant profiles I will be working with? 

Confirmed participants will be joining from the pharmaceutical industry, medical devices and innovation, clinicians, health insurance and data science.
