The European ME Alliance will have more detail on their web site but the attached video was that which Invest in ME Research presented - with a theme on collaboration and moving to the most rapid method of achieving progress, without reinventing everything again, as seems to be repeated in UK every few years.


A key charity objective is developing and supporting European research through both the European ME Research Group (EMERG) and Young EMERG. This continued strategy is vital—especially as we strive to attract researchers from other fields and build long-term investment in ME science. Together with our partners in the European ME Alliance (EMEA) and the European ME Clinicians in EMERG, this provides an existing European research model. Our goal remains clear: to fund and facilitate the kind of research that offers the best chance of advancing understanding and treatment for ME - rapidly.
