The TBMED (A testing bed for the development of high-risk medical devices) project will establish an open innovation testing bed specialised in the development of high-risk devices (≥Class IIb).

The SIMCor project aims to develop an in-silico platform and simulation tools for the development, validation and regulatory approval of cardiovascular devices, providing tangible value to patients and clinicians, device manufacturers, clinical researchers, medical authorities and regulatory bodies. It will focus on two clinically and economically relevant cardiovascular procedures and devices, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and pulmonary artery pressure sensors (PAPS), and will extrapolate best practices for in-silico trials that will be translated into Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all cardiovascular device manufacturing and clinical communities.

The PERsonalised MedicIne Trials (‘PERMIT’) project on methodological standards for personalised medicine research will establish recommendations ensuring the robustness of personalised medicine trials. 

(PedCRIN) brings together ECRIN and the European Paediatric Clinical Trial Research Infrastructure (EPCTRI) to develop capacity for multinational paediatric clinical trials.

ISIDORe will contribute to Europe’s readiness to any epidemic-prone pathogen through a global, integrated and preparedness-driven approach by providing free of charge access to cutting-edge resources and services to scientific user communities for supporting their research projects in the field of infectious diseases in “peaceful times” as well as during outbreaks or epidemics

The HealthyCloud project aims to define the Strategic Agenda for the European Health Research and Innovation Cloud (HRIC). HealthyCloud brings together 21 organisations from across the health sciences including ERICs, national public health institutes, data hubs and academic institutions from 11 countries to ensure inclusion and technical and ethical soundness of the results.

The EuroStemCell project, funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 funding programme, aims to help European citizens understand stem cells. Over 400 stem cell labs participate in the project, and contributors include scientists, clinicians, ethicists, social scientists and science communicators. To communicate stem cell research, EuroStemCell has created a website and multilingual content such as non-technical fact sheets on key questions and concepts, and a toolkit of films, comics, lesson plans and games to facilitate education and outreach.

EuroGCT is here to help make sense of gene and cell therapy - from science in the lab to treatments for patients. The European Consortium for Communicating Gene and Cell Therapy Information (EuroGCT) brings together 47 partner organisations and institutions across Europe with a goal of providing reliable and accessible information about the use of cells and genetic material to treat disease.

EU-RESPONSE aims to design and run a new adaptive European platform trial on COVID-19 and emerging infectious diseases. EU-RESPONSE will allow the European expansion of the DisCoVeRy study, a phase III, open-label, adaptive, randomized, controlled, multi-centre clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of medicinal products in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The DisCoVeRy trial was originally initiated in France as WHO Solidarity trial “add-on” study and thanks to EU-RESPONSE it will further expand to many other European countries.

EU-PEARL aims to transform the current approach of conducting single-compound clinical trials into the use of cross-company Integrated Research Platforms (IRPs), taking into consideration both patients’ interests and the opportunities from novel molecules for addressing medical needs. Patient-centric data and knowledge sharing have the potential to accelerate the development of new treatments and reduce the operational costs of clinical trials.
