Establishment of EPTRI AISBL

In a significant milestone, EPTRI has been officially incorporated as an international non-profit association (AISBL) based in Leuven, Belgium. Approval from the Belgian government allows EPTRI to operate as an independent institution eligible for grants and funding opportunities.

Key objectives include creating five specialized research platforms, centralized services, and national nodes to facilitate a borderless ecosystem for paediatric research and therapeutic development.

The EPTRI Scientific Meeting 2024 and formation of the AISBL legal entity demonstrate EPTRI’s commitment to driving progress through multidisciplinary collaboration.
