Designing the framework for a new European paediatric research infrastructure

Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to share with you the October issue of the EPTRI Newsletter which sees the EPTRI participation in several important paediatric research initiatives.
Our mission is to coherently integrate EPTRI into the European landscape and increase the impact of the EPTRI excellence in enhancing paediatric research.
EPTRI is a member of the European Alliance for Transformative Therapies (TRANSFORM), which is a multi-stakeholder Alliance endorsed by Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and policy-makers, that connects patient groups, medical experts and associations, scientists, researchers, industry actors, networks and other relevant stakeholders. Within the Alliance, EPTRI strengthened the paediatric point of view, proposing paediatric facets of the recommendations in the TRANSFORM position paper.
EPTRI is also collaborating in several mainstream activities within the RARE IMPACT initiative, which is working to improve the access to gene and cell therapies for people with rare diseases in Europe.
In the same way, CVBF, as EPTRI Coordinator, has been included as an Observer in the EOSC Association (EOSC-A) which ambition is to provide European researchers, innovators, companies and citizens with a federated and open multi-disciplinary environment where they can publish, find and re-use data, tools and services for research, innovation and educational purposes.
CVBF is also a partner of the EU Health Coalition, a multi-stakeholder initiative looking at mapping the future of healthcare in Europe in order to make the most of the innovation at how different sectors can converge to deliver the best outcomes for patients in Europe.
As you might know, a question for written answer has been submitted by a group of MEPs aimed at strengthening paediatric research. In her written answer, the European Commissioner Mariya Gabriel said that ‘child health and paediatric drug research are essential for the present and future health of Europe’s population; therefore, the Commission services maintain a continued interest in this area and are committed to supporting it through the work programmes’.
The EPTRI Partners are now creating the EPTRI AISLB legal entity which will be entitled to get access to EU funds, and to promote the establishment of a mission, or a partnership, and of course the issuing of calls for proposals within Horizon Europe to provide the resources that the paediatric research deserves!

In the framework of the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJPRD), TEDDY European Network of Excellence for Paediatric Research is organising the first paediatric expert patients training workshops in collaboration with EURORDIS and the Sant Joan de Déu Research Foundation. 15 paediatric patients in Europe will be selected to participate in the workshop by a dedicated Project Committee.
