Digestive Cancers Europe is pleased to announce its 2026 unrestricted operational grants for Member Organisations, alongside the annual Wolfram Nolte Memorial Award.

Both initiatives reflect DiCE’s commitment to supporting its Member Organisations and strengthening patient-led work across Europe.

Unrestricted operational grants

DiCE will offer €15,000 in unrestricted operational grants in 2026.

The grants are open to both Full and Associate Member Organisations and are intended to provide flexible support for organisational needs and activities.

DiCE will also offer another round of operational grants in spring 2027.

2026 Wolfram Nolte Memorial Award

Applications are also open for the annual Wolfram Nolte Memorial Award, which provides €5,000 to support a project addressing the unmet needs of people affected by colorectal cancer and/or their carers.

The award is open exclusively to DiCE Full Member Organisations. Proposed projects should respond to needs within the Member Organisation’s country and demonstrate a clear benefit for the colorectal cancer community.

More information about the award and its criteria is available on the Wolfram Nolte Memorial Award webpage.

Apply by 9 October 2026

The deadline for applications for both the 2026 operational grants and the Wolfram Nolte Memorial Award is 9 October 2026.

Please send applications to ghislaine@digestivecancers.eu by the deadline.

We encourage eligible Member Organisations to apply and look forward to supporting their work across Europe.
