<div>RESCEU and PROMISE projects </div> </h3> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"> <div><p><span>RESCEU was a 5 year EU wide consortium (2017-2022) funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), a European Commission and European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations partnership, to deepen our understanding of RSV and generate more comprehensive data on RSV in Europe.</span></p><p><span>With the anticipated licensure and subsequent market availability of RSV immunisations by 2025, PROMISE was funded by IMI in 2021 to build on RESCEU's achievements and address remaining key questions to inform the introduction of RSV immunization in Europe.</span></p><p><span>Both projects were led (co-ordinated) by Professor Harish Nair at the Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh. The results from these two projects have informed policy on RSV surveillance and recommendations for implementation of RSV vaccines and monoclonal antibodies in national immunization programs across Europe. Another notable highlight of the projects was the launch of the RSV awareness week, spearheaded by the consortium's Patient Advisory Board, to raise public awareness and understanding of the virus.
