EXPERT Workshop: "Unlocking the Potential of mRNA within a Collaborative European Ecosystem"

YOUR ROADMAP TO EUROPEAN PARTNERSHIPS

As part of the Pre-Conference mRNA Technology & Innovation Day at the 4th mRNA-Based Therapeutics Summit Europe, we are delighted to host a complimentary Workshop.

The EU is actively building an ecosystem to support the development and commercialisation of RNA therapeutics through various initiatives, funding opportunities, public-private collaborations, infrastructure support and expert networks. Health biotechnology or biopharmaceutical R&I is supported substantially by the EU R&I Framework Programmes, with over 1,250 Horizon 2020 and nearly 600 Horizon Europe projects to date. In March 2024, the European Commission reaffirmed the importance of biotechnology in strengthening the EU’s competitiveness and strategic autonomy and proposed a series of targeted actions to boost biotechnology and biomanufacturing across the EU.

The goal of this two-hour interactive workshop, organised by the Horizon 2020 project “EXPERT”, is to:

Provide a roadmap and raise awareness of EU resources supporting development and commercialisation of RNA therapeutics;
Identify current challenges in efficiently utilising the existing infrastructure and services; provide user feedback and recommendations to relevant stakeholders;
Showcase main insights and outputs from EU-funded collaborative R&I projects
Explore – from different perspectives – the approaches, challenges, and issues regarding exploiting the value generated by mRNA R&I projects
Facilitate collaboration with existing projects and develop synergies with European, national or regional initiatives, funding programmes and platforms.
