This network is mobilised to facilitate a rapid and effective response to this outbreak, through the coordination of research agendas and addressing priority research needs. CEPIThe Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations In shortIn consultation with the World Health Organisation, CEPI has identified vaccine candidates to undergo clinical trials, with further candidates likely to follow. Ongoing work includes scaling up other potential vaccine candidates. CEPI has issued an urgent call for US$2 billion to boost the search for an effective vaccine. CEPI is an innovative partnership between public, private, philanthropic, and civil organisations, launched in 2017, to develop vaccines to stop future epidemics. The European Commission contributes to CEPI through its Horizon 2020 programme, along with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust and the governments of Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Japan, Norway, and the UK. In October 2019, the European Commission contributed to a clinical trial for a novel Ebola vaccine in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

EDCTP callsNoEsNetworks of Excellence EDCTP supports networks of research centres that are involved in clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa. These NoEs facilitate research collaboration by uniting diverse institutions in the 4 regions of sub-Saharan Africa.
In shortEDCTP brings together the EU, 16 African and 14 European countries to fund research to combat infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. The partnership funds clinical research to accelerate the development of new or improved medical interventions against infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. EDCTP: Coronavirus-related activities In April EDCTP announced emergency calls for expressions of interest to support research on the coronavirus and to strengthen research capacities in sub-Saharan Africa. 3 calls in total will be funded with over €25 million from Horizon 2020, the EU research and innovation programme.
