Medical research is vital for improving human health as it brings about a better understanding of the cause and effect of complex diseases. Advancing knowledge in the field also generates enormous social benefits which in turn translate into economic growth.
EMRC, the European Medical Research Councils is the membership organisation for all the Medical Research Councils in Europe under the European Science Foundation in Strasbourg (France). The mission of the European Medical Research Councils (EMRC) is to promote innovative medical research and its clinical application towards improved human health. EMRC offers authoritative strategic advice for policy making, research management, ethics, and better health services. In its activities, EMRC serves as a voice of its Member Organisations and the European scientific community. EMRC disseminates knowledge and promotes the socio-economic value of medical research to the general public and the decision makers.
