We are excited to announce that we joined the TRANSVAC-DS Project, that aims to establish a sustainable European vaccine infrastructure.
About
The main output of TRANSVAC-DS will be a conceptual design report that will describe in detail the maturity of the concept and be the basis for the establishment of a permanent and sustainable vaccine infrastructure of direct relevance to and benefit for Europe and further afield. As part of the design report, a five-year business plan will be delivered together with an implementation plan that will guide the further establishment of a sustainable European vaccine infrastructure.
