Research

We contribute to research in Europe as partners in the development of therapies and tools for people with allergies and respiratory diseases. In July we commented the Work Programme 2018-2020 of the EU programme for research Horizon2020 asking for more investment in early diagnosis, prevention, patient stratification, tools for self-management and adherence, patient education and empowerment. The results of the consultation will underpin the final Work Programme. In addition, as the patient representative at the Horizon 2020 Scientific Panel for Health, we co-led the Panel’s workshop on ‘Society’s involvement in Europe’s health research’. This will result in recommendations on involvement, including patients, in setting research agenda and the 2017 research itself.
