BioMed Alliance welcomes European Commission reply to "Stop Vivisection" European Citizens' Initiative
- Details
The Alliance for Biomedical Research in Europe (BioMed Alliance) welcomes the European Commission's decision not to repeal Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes, in response to the ECI “Stop Vivisection”. Animal studies continue to provide invaluable insights into basic biological processes and are instrumental in unravelling disease mechanisms and pathways. To ensure continued advancement in the prevention of diseases and the development of safe and efficacious, treatments, a complete replacement of animal studies would at this time be premature.

Implementing the European Council for health research (EUCHR): The Scientific steering board
- Details
The Alliance for Biomedical Research in Europe (BioMed Alliance) has been long advocating for a strategic instrument – the ‘European Council for Health Research (EuCHR)’ – to foster innovation in Europe by using contemporary evidence to bridge the gap between health research and policy for the benefit of society.
A scientific-led strategic body that can steer health research and innovation across Horizon 2020 (H2020) lies at the core of the EuCHR concept. Indeed, to implement the concept of the EuCHR it would be necessary to establish a Scientific Steering Board (SSB).
