GLOBAL COOPERATION

GLoPID-R

The Global Research Collaboration for Infectious Disease Preparedness network

More information

In short

The Commission is working with other research funders through GLopid-R. 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.

CEPI

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations

In short

In 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.

INFO

To face the spreading of the coronavirus the EU is intensifying its global efforts, joining forces with partner countries to find solutions, and maximizing access to the latest scientific knowledge and international value chains.
Supporting research is one of the 3 pillars of the EU’s global response to the coronavirus crisis as set out by the European Commission and the High Representative on 8 April.
