  • Building the Future of Health Research
    Building the future of health research Proposal for a European Council for Health Research A consensus document of the H2020 Scientific Panel for Health* Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this document are those of the Scientific Panel for Health only and should not be considered as representative of the European Commission's official position. *The Scientific Panel for Health (SPH) is a science-led expert group based on the provisions of the Horizon 2020 Specific Programme that has been tasked with helping to achieve better health and wellbeing for all. https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/h2020-section/scientific-panel-health-sph Contact: [email protected] 15/05/2018 Executive summary A call for action Europe leads in many areas of research and has powerful models of cross-border, cross-sectoral, international research cooperation. European research funding has evolved from a handful of programmes to become an important component of the research and innovation landscape in Europe. The European funding landscape is rich but the framework for health research has limitations, which, if addressed, would better serve health needs. The Scientific Panel for Health (SPH) received a mandate under Horizon2020 to ‘analyse bottlenecks preventing the achievement of better health and wellbeing for all… and propose solutions’. The SPH is expected to provide a comprehensive view on how to advance biomedical research in support of improving health in Europe, and to formulate recommendations to policy makers. To develop this comprehensive view, the panel of experts conducted a comprehensive participatory process with diverse stakeholders from across Europe. Through workshops and conferences, specific aspects were explored such as the regulatory framework, the next-generation workforce, societal participation and impact of health research.a This process identified specific needs and opportunities for health research as path to better health.

    Scientific Panel for Health: 3rd Plenary meeting 30 October 2015, Brussels Executive summary The Scientific Panel for Health’s 3rd plenary meeting was held in Brussels on 30 October 2015. At this meeting the internal workings of the SPH were reviewed, the draft of the SPH Vision Paper was discussed and content for the SPH Conference on 21 January was refined. Objective of the meeting The objective of the meeting was to: Review and discuss the content of the SPH Vision Paper Discuss the format, content of the SPH conference, to be organised on 21 January 2016 Discuss the topics of the SPH workshops. Update and Review of SPH Work Plan The European Commission welcomed the SPH members and presented the new Horizon 2020 Work Programme for the Societal Challenge 1 'Health, demographic change and well-being' 2016-2017. This facilitated a discussion between the SPH members and the European Commission on upcoming research priorities in these areas. The discussion continued on the role of the SPH and the focus it should have, to avoid duplication of work with other advisory groups or expert panels. Members agreed that the SPH should provide a long term vision on health- related research, i.e. the priorities and objectives post Horizon 2020. The SPH work plan 2016-2017 was then presented by the Chair, which includes the finalisation of the SPH Vision Paper, the organisation of and follow up to the SPH public conference (21 January 2016) and three thematic workshops (exploring links with the Heath Technology Assessment Networks, Developing a strategic research agenda for heath and a workshop on the next generation workforce).
