Descrizione del progetto
Finanziare il vaccino contro la COVID-19 della CEPI
Nel contesto odierno in cui la pandemia di COVID-19 sta mettendo a rischio la vita di miliardi di persone, compromettendo fortemente l’economia globale, sono in molti ad affrettarsi per sviluppare un vaccino contro questa malattia. Dati i milioni di decessi riportati in tutto il mondo, ogni sforzo compiuto allo scopo di sviluppare un vaccino risulta di fondamentale importanza. A tal fine, il progetto COVID-19 VACCINES, finanziato dall’UE, si prefigge di acquisire un co-finanziamento dalla Commissione europea a sostegno degli sforzi realizzati dalla Coalizione per l’innovazione in materia di preparazione alle epidemie (CEPI) al fine di sviluppare vaccini. Il progetto andrà alla ricerca di programmi relativi alla ricerca e sviluppo di vaccini che consentirebbero di incrementare l’accessibilità al maggior numero di persone possibile.
Obiettivo
Funding of research and innovation programmes for the development of novel SARS-CoV-2 vaccine against COVID-19 disease
The overall objective is to leverage co-funding from the European Commission to support CEPI’s COVID-19 vaccine programme development efforts. The COVID-19 outbreak has in a short timeframe grown to a global pandemic of historic proportions, with detrimental humanitarian and economic consequences. All evidence now suggests that eradication of COVID-19 is not feasible and that we face a global public health crisis which is unprecedented in modern times. Investing in vaccine development now is an investment in the future health for all in our societies and a return to social and economic development – both in Europe and in the rest of the globe.
CEPI is seeking to support scientifically excellent research and development vaccine development programmes of a nature that will allow the broadest global access of the vaccines that are ultimately developed both within the current pandemic crisis and beyond. This will help curb the current ongoing outbreak, that is resulting in human suffering and a grave global economic crisis. CEPI was set up to respond to the crisis, where our vision is a world in which epidemics are no longer a threat to humanity. Our strategic objectives are further aligned with the sustainable
development goals 3, 8 and 17. Of particular importance to CEPI’s work is to try and ensure that low- and low-middle income countries (LICs and LMICs, respectively) will have access to the vaccines to protect their most vulnerable population, as soon as a vaccine is made available and irrespective of their ability to pay. As the current pandemic has shown, viruses respect no borders. To successfully curb the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, we must ensure that all countries have the necessary tools to control the outbreak domestically. No-one is safe until everyone is safe.
