About EUPATI - The European Patients' Academy on Therapeutic Innovation provides scientifically reliable, objective, comprehensive information to patients and the general public on the research and development process of medicines. It will increase the capacity of patients and the lay public to be effective advocates and advisors, e.g., in clinical trials, with regulatory authorities and in ethics committees. EUPATI is a team of 33 organisations, led by the European Patients' Forum, made up of a unique combination of patient organisations, university and not-for-profit organisations expert in patient and public engagement, along with European pharmaceutical companies working in research. EUPATI wants to offer information and education that will help involve patients and patient advocates throughout the medicines research and development process.
EUPATI aims to make a visible difference to all stakeholders involved in medicines research and development, clarifying ways for a more meaningful involvement in areas like drug discovery, clinical trials planning and conduct, the assessment of safety of medicines, the balance of benefit and risk and health economics.
