Creation of a sustainable network of researchers involved in intellectual disabilities, cancer prevention, epidemiology, health sciences, social sciences, education and other adjacent fields, engaged in knowledge exchange. This will be achieved using the unique COST networking tools including short term scientific missions, meetings, training schools, Experience Based co-design workshops, webinar series and thematic conference over the lifetime of the action. This will be measured by the volume and diversity of participation in monthly meetings, Training Schools, co-production workshops guided by the principles of inclusivity and value of lived experience of the intellectual disability community and a thematic conference, and in the public domain metrics of excellence and impact, such as research publications.
