        Commission launches “BE READY” European Partnership to
        strengthen pandemic preparedness research ecosystem

Today, the European Commission launched BE READY, a new European 
Partnership for pandemic preparedness. Through BE READY, the European 
Union will strengthen its capacity to anticipate, prevent and respond 
rapidly to epidemics and pandemics. BE READY focuses on advancing 
research on emerging and re-emerging pathogens and accelerating the 
development of diagnostics, treatments and vaccines.

*Ekaterina Zaharieva*, European Commissioner for Startups, Research and 
Innovation, said:

    “Europe’s pandemic preparedness must be built on sound scientific
    foundations. That is why we are making €120 million from the Horizon
    Europe budget available for the BE READY partnership. Through BE
    READY, we are putting our citizens’ health first while reinforcing
    Europe’s innovation leadership.”
