Beyond Borders: Europe’s Strategic Role in Powering Vaccine Innovation and Transforming the Global Vaccine Landscape
- How can Europe’s unique ecosystem of innovation hubs, regulatory frameworks, and public-private partnerships accelerate the next generation of breakthrough vaccines?
- What strategies and incentives are needed to transform Europe’s emerging biotechs and SMEs into tomorrow’s vaccine innovation leaders?
- How can regulatory frameworks evolve to support rapid innovation while maintaining the gold standard in vaccine safety and efficacy?
- In an increasingly complex global health landscape, how can Europe balance domestic innovation priorities with its responsibility to ensure equitable worldwide vaccine access?
Day 2 - Wednesday 15th October @ 10:00
Rethinking Global Health Threats and Responses: H5N1, Mpox, Measles, Marburg, Climate, Zoonoses, and Emerging Risks
- Pandemic vs. endemic priorities: What’s missing from the global agenda? – Are we too fixated on future pandemics while ignoring the growing threats of endemic infectious diseases (e.g., TB, dengue, H5N1)?
- Climate-driven disease risks: Are we accurately predicting which pathogens will surge due to climate change? (e.g., vector-borne diseases like malaria vs. less-discussed threats). How can we better anticipate less obvious threats?
- How should we be investing in surveillance and R&D? – What innovations (AI, genomics, forecasting) actually have the potential to get ahead of the next crisis?
- How do we ensure that disease prioritisation is driven by science, not politics? – What structural and policy shifts are needed to avoid repeating past mistakes?
- Are we adequately investing in diagnostic capabilities for future threats, or are we overly focused on vaccines and treatments? How can improved diagnostic strategies enhance our ability to detect and respond to emerging threats quickly?
- How can we improve international collaboration in disease surveillance, research, and response while addressing geopolitical challenges and ensuring equitable access to resources?
