PIONEER is a 12 million euro funded project made up of 37 partners from 9 countries. The main aim of this project is to harness the power of real world (Big) data to inform the clinical practice recommendations in the field of Prostate Cancer. Represented by our unit, the University of Aberdeen is one of the key parnters in the PIONEER consortium and our Academic Urology Unit (AUU) team members each have key research roles in driving new knowledge on how best to incorporate real world data to inform clinical practice guideline reccomendations - the very first international guideline developement body to formally embark on this path. Each member of our unit has key roles for certain Work Projects. You can read more about these different work projects and their aims here.
PIONEER is part of the Innovative Medicine Initiative's (IMI's) “Big Data for Better Outcomes” (BD4BO) umbrella programme. The BD4BO mission is to improve health outcomes and healthcare systems in Europe by maximising the potential of Big Data
PIONEER aims to transform the field of prostate cancer care with particular focus on improving prostate-cancer related outcomes, health system efficiency and the quality of health and social care across Europe.

European Association of Urology Data Haven
The European Association of Urology launched a new data innovation programme : the EAU UroEvidenceHub, a Real-World Evidence (RWE) generation ecosystem that will use artificial intelligence and data science to accelerate research and personalised care for patients with urological diseases.
The EAU UroEvidenceHub will bring together experts in urology, RWE generation,l artificial intelligence in healthcare, epidemiology, data science and guideline development to address evidence gaps in urological care. The UroEvidenceHub encompasses the Data Haven, a dedicated interoperable data capture and analytics platform for urology and related disciplines.
