 Our vision is for a healthier future for Europe. A future based on prevention, innovation, access to new treatments and better outcomes for patients.
 
 

 
Our Organisational Structure
EFPIA specialised group
Vaccines Europe (VE) is the specialised vaccine industry group within EFPIA. It represents major innovative research-based global vaccine companies as well as small and medium sized enterprises operating in Europe.
 
EFPIA Partners in Research 
The evolving societal and healthcare challenges as well as opportunities offered by new sciences and technologies, call for a much more integrated health research environment than in the past.
EFPIA created "Partners in Research" as a constituent entity open to companies operating in associated sectors (such as imaging, MedTech, diagnostics, animal health, IT - including e- and m-technologies, contract research organisations, etc.), and aiming to participate to collaborative research partnerships. This membership status made it possible to jointly design and implement collaborative R&amp;D initiatives in the framework of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), which implemented new R&amp;D, operational, and business models that benefit all sectors involved (impact on R&amp;D processes), patients (new treatment pathways), and society (incentives for reinvestment in areas where there is market failure).
Meanwhile, science is driving new avenues of R&amp;D often spanning different sectors within the life-science community: future breakthroughs in medical science will involve cross-sectoral discoveries, such as medical device / drug combinations or diagnostics based on artificial intelligence. With the end of the IMI2 programme, and aware of the growing importance of cross-sectoral cooperation, the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI), a new public private partnership was launched in 2021. IHI will leverage the benefits of cross-sectoral collaborations (pharma, biotech, vaccines, device, and diagnostics) in research and innovation to better respond to current and emerging health needs.
Companies wishing to join an IHI project, but which do not qualify to join other founding IHI trade associations (EuropaBio, Medtech Europe, and COCIR) can apply for the EFPIA Partner in Research membership.
