BioMed Alliance welcomes European Commission reply to "Stop Vivisection" European Citizens' Initiative
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.
Horizon 2020 budget cuts are threatening Research
Brussels, 5 June 2015. The Alliance for Biomedical Research in Europe (BioMed Alliance) welcomes the announcement that the European Research Council (ERC) and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions budget lines have been safeguarded following the political negotiations on the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). Basic science and education and mobility for researchers are vital instruments for scientists to conduct frontier research in Europe.
In memory of Prof. Jose Mariano Gago
It is with great sadness we learned of the death of Prof. Jose Mariano Gago on April 17, 2015. He will be very much missed.

Implementing the European Council for health research (EUCHR): The Scientific steering board
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).
EMRC Statement - Why we need a new strategy for health research in Europe
European Medical Research Councils - along with learned societies and patients’ groups – make the case for changes to the Horizon 2020 proposals – calling for increased spending on biomedical science and the creation of a European Clinical Research Fund.
