On June 5, 2025, over 150 members of Oncode Institute, including staff and leading oncology researchers from 13 institutes across the Netherlands, will participate in Alpe d’HuZes.
Thank you to all our sponsors (shown above) for their invaluable support of Oncode Institute during Alpe d'HuZes 2025!
The annual Alpe d'HuZes fundraising event, organized in support of KWF Kankerbestrijding, brings thousands of participants together to cycle, run, or walk up the iconic French mountain Alpe d'Huez.
Alpe d’HuZes is more than a physical challenge; it is a platform for collective action against cancer. Participants commit to climbing the mountain up to six times in a single day, turning personal perseverance into tangible contributions to cancer research.
Cancer impacts millions of lives worldwide. Alpe d’HuZes was created to channel the frustration and helplessness surrounding the disease into support for scientific progress. At Oncode Institute, we share this commitment by conducting research aimed at improving cancer treatments and patient outcomes.
Over the past seven years, our institute has focused on expanding scientific knowledge and accelerating innovations that contribute to better cancer care. The loss of colleagues and loved ones to cancer reinforces our dedication to continuing this work. By participating in Alpe d’HuZes, we aim to support life-changing research while honoring those we have lost.
