The Italian Association for Cancer Research
The Italian Association for Cancer Research (Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro, or AIRC) was founded in 1965 by a group of researchers at the Istituto Tumori in Milan, including Umberto Veronesi and Giuseppe della Porta, with invaluable support from eminent local businesspeople. What AIRC does is to raise funds and give out grants for cancer research, and keep the public up to date on the latest news in this field.
