To overcome European barriers

• Fragmented research

• Non-concerted national funding

• Duplication

• Shared research via EC funding,

total European budget

JPND brings together

• Researchers (Basic, Clinical, Healthcare/Social)

• National Funding Bodies

• National Research Strategies and Investments
