The Dutch presidency organised a high-level conference and dinner on 18th November 2004 from 15.00-22.00h in The Hague.
The objective of the conference was to present a R&D agenda for the research and development of medicines, vaccines and biologicals which meet the real health needs of European citizens.
The conference aimed to identify gaps in the development of pharmaceuticals, introducing a solid methodology for this purpose, ways to reduce the number of these gaps and to establish support from stakeholders.
Participants included the pharmaceutical industry, patients’ organisations, associations of health care professionals and scientific and ethical bodies. The European Investment Bank and the European Group on Ethics are involved in the project as well.
