Mission & Goals
The Pasteur Network is an alliance of 30+ institutes which plays a crucial role in tackling global health challenges. Its distinctive strength lies in the diversity and extensive geographic reach, spanning 25 countries across 5 continents, fostering a dynamic community of knowledge and expertise. The Pasteur Network plays a pivotal role in advancing scientific understanding and applying this knowledge to real-world health issues, with more than 15,000 scientific papers published annually. The Pasteur Network is recognized as a WHO non-state actor, and members of the network are frequently embedded into local Ministries of Health. The PN sustains a global infrastructure encompassing 50+ national and regional reference laboratories, which includes multiple Biosafety Level 3 Laboratories, and 17 WHO Collaborating Centers.
EU Legislative Interests
1. Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the strengthening of Europe’s resilience to communicable diseases: Focused on policies that enhance the preparedness and response capacities of member states to health crises, this proposal aligns with the Pasteur Network’s objectives in epidemic preparedness and international collaboration. 2. Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 on a framework for the establishment of a European Health Emergency preparedness and response authority (HERA): This regulation aligns with the Pasteur Network's goal of coordinating infectious disease responses and enhancing biobank access for research institutions to facilitate data sharing in crisis scenarios. 3. Proposal for a European Health Data Space (EHDS): This proposal, which supports cross-border data exchange and aims to harmonize health data governance, is relevant for the DURABLE project’s focus and the Pasteur Network’s overarching mission to improve data-sharing practices and health data accessibility among research institutions at both European and global levels.
Communication Activities
Our network’s communication activities include a dedicated website, regular participation in meetings with representatives from the European Health Emergency preparedness and response authority (HERA) as part of the DURABLE Project, and frequent publications by our members in peer-reviewed journals. Our Executive Director has published an article in The Lancet entitled 'Science knows no country: fulfilling Louis Pasteur's legacy,' which highlights the Pasteur Network’s mission to foster global scientific collaboration with a focus on equity, a core strategic pillar.This year, a representative from HERA had the opportunity to attend the Pasteur Network Annual Meeting in Rio de Janeiro, creating a valuable occasion for networking and meaningful discussions on shared priorities with members. The meeting also provided a platform for Pasteur Network members to showcase their work.
