Workshop – REMEDi4ALL: what’s in it for funders?
5 July 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Learn and discuss how REMEDi4ALL & the funders network can support your funding activities in drug repurposing
Target audience: Funders who are (willing to be) active in drug repurposing
Within REMEDi4ALL an international funders network for drug repurposing is currently being created by ZonMw. So far, more than 50 different funders from all over the world have expressed their interest to join the network. Many of them also already shared their experiences with and ideas of funding drug repurposing with us via an online survey and in face-to-face interviews. This is the first workshop where funders who are interested in joining the funders network come together. Within an interactive setting we will talk about how REMEDi4ALL and the funders network can support funders in drug repurposing. You will learn about current and upcoming activities in REMEDi4ALL related to funders. Also, we will share and discuss the insights collected from funders on the barriers, solutions and incentives needed for funding drug repurposing.
