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,

  • MD/PhD programmes are important and should be of high quality,
  • the best researchers - like the Nobel Laureates at The Lindau meeting - to participate in teaching,
  • Novel technologies and research infrastructures are important as well as incentive in terms of decent salaries to attract and retain young researchers

To make the White Paper recommendations come true European and global collaboration is needed.

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
