Research and assistance constitute the two fundamental pillars that guarantee the increase in the recovery rate in childhood neoplasia. The Foundation delegates both the choice and the evaluation of the research projects which it finances to an International Scientific Committee, formed by the most qualified and authoritative Italian and European experts. The role of the Città della Speranza Foundation is to finance and to manage the economic aspects of the scientific research projects and to coordinate the activities and initiatives of the many volunteers.
