Collaboration needed for strengthening medical research in Europe
Date:2/5/2008

Public spending on medical research in Europe should be doubled over the next ten years to ensure health and welfare for Europes citizens and to nurture a thriving European medical research industry.

  • Collaboration on big programmes is essential,
  • Research areas should be determined by health priorities and not only science topics,

The White Paper is the result of a comprehensive analysis of the current state of medical research within Europe together with an assessment of the new challenges facing Europes citizens, with changing patterns of disease, environmental issues as global warming, and changing demographic factors with a
