What we offer

A platform for researchers
We provide an integrated platform for research in allergy and asthma with harmonized tools and methods in its centres. The network that has now centres in 20 countries can benefit from the European diversity for risk factors studies and prevention schemes. Pilot protocols for clinical studies in several Network of Excellence centres have been tested, which could open the door to further public-private collaboration. The network aims at developing novel biomarkers, treatment and preventive strategies.

Guidelines and lifelong learning
Global Allergy and Asthma Excellence Network e.V. promotes the development of a high-level, large scale international and multidisciplinary scientific community. Allergy schools, training sessions and e-learning support the clinical and research activities of junior scientists and health professionals. Scientists can use the Network of Excellence communication platform and programmes for mobility and exchange.

For patients, public and policy makers
The prevalence of allergic diseases has been increasing in the European population over the last decades, most clearly in children. Allergic diseases are currently insufficiently diagnosed, suboptimally managed and generally undertreated. Network of Excellence contributes to raising awareness on this public health problem and develops educational material for patients and the general public.
