ADDITIONAL PARTNERS & COLLABORATORS

The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is a unique and large-scale public-private partnership between the European Union and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA).
IMI runs a 2 billion euro research programme aiming to speed up the discovery and development of safer and more effective drugs for patients, and to reinvigorate the biopharmaceutical sector in Europe.
The main goal of this innovative funding scheme is not to develop new drugs as such, but to improve tools and technologies (such as biomarkers, imaging techniques, knowledge management platforms …) that will enable the faster and more efficient development of safer and better drugs for patients.
The research consortia participating in IMI projects include small- and medium-sized enterprises, universities and other research organisations, hospitals, patient organisations, public authorities and large pharmaceutical companies.
