The European Commission (EC), in the context of the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, commits significant funding to TRANSVAC2,
a European vaccine research and development (R&D) infrastructure.
Using a bottom - up approach, the needs and priorities regarding European vaccine R&D were identified through a series of stakeholder consultations and workshops, and translated into a proposal for the establishment of
a European Vaccine Research & Development Infrastructure (EVRI).
In order to facilitate access to these skills and capacities, and to promote collaborations in the European vaccine landscape - aiming thereby to accelerate the development of safe, effective and affordable vaccines - the EC, in the context of the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, has recently funded «TRANSVAC2»,
a European vaccine research and development (R&D) infrastructure.

research infrastructure - Results and lessons learned from the
European network of
vaccine research and development.
In its first funding period, which commenced in 2009 and was completed in 2013, TRANSVAC made a significant contribution to the support of individual
European scientific groups through the provision of state - of - the - art
vaccine experimental services, technical training, and innovative
vaccine research and development (R&D).
Furthermore, over thirty scientists received specialised training on numerous aspects of
vaccine development, being provided with a thorough overview of the full
vaccine development process, and more than twenty innovative scientific papers were published from TRANSVAC's
research and activities (for more information see also tables below and: Geels, M. et al (2015): TRANSVAC
