About

Horizon 2020 has been the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme with nearly €80 billion of funding granted between 2014 and 2020. In addition to the private investment that this money attracted, the initiative was critical for promoting more breakthroughs, discoveries, and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market.

BEAt-DKD has been funded under the "Health" priority, an investment in our health and, on a larger scale, an investment in a healthy workforce, a healthy economy and lower public health bills.
The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is Europe's largest public-private initiative aiming to speed up the development of better and safer medicines for patients.
IMI supports collaborative research projects and builds networks of industrial and academic experts in order to boost pharmaceutical innovation in Europe.

EFPIA brings together 33 European national pharmaceutical industry associations as well as 42 leading companies undertaking research, development and the manufacture in Europe of medicinal products for human use.

The EFPIA Manager Research Partnerships plays a critical role in enabling participation of EFPIA members in collaborative research and development in the framework of private-private and public-private partnerships, such as but not limited to the Innovative Medicines Initiative or EU framework programmes.
