  1. Does Horizon 2020 address the needs of biomedical and health research?‘High-level meeting to brainstorm with key drivers in EU health research policy’European Parliament · 24 January 2012Organized by Maria daGraçaCarvalho MEPi Prof Karin Sipido, Vice-President, Alliance for Biomedical Research in Europe

  2. Horizon 2020 concept • Health research is part of the 3 priorities • excellent science • industrial leadership • societal challenges • Boosting the innovation chain addresses the need for better health research and care

  3. .. but innovation chain is long in health research need for long term commitment

  4. Health Understanding the determinants of health (including environmental and climate related factors), improving health promotion and disease prevention; Developing effective screening programmes and improving the assessment of disease susceptibility Improving surveillance and preparedness Understanding disease Developing better preventive vaccines Improving diagnosis Using in-silico medicine for improving disease management and prediction Treating disease Priorities 1/2: The EC proposes an ambitious program but budget drops from 12 to 10% of total budget..

  5. yet EU health research funding is not competitive
