The European Medical Research Councils (EMRC) is the Membership Organisation under the ESF of 37 medical research councils in 30 European countries. Its mission 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 the voice of its Member Organisations within the European scientific community. EMRC disseminates knowledge and promotes the socio-economic value of medical research to the general public and decision makers.
