The Public Partnership Working Group aims to identify Network-wide topics that are key to its relationship with the public, with a view to defining adequate messaging strategies that will enable the dissemination of the important work carried out by the Clusters in the relevant disease areas.
The group intends to make use of the Network’s significant expertise in public engagement and involvement to focus attention on the unique synergies created by the innovative funding and research model that the Network represents.
One of the group’s first activities will be to provide informative material about the rigorous process of using animals, particularly mice, in preclinical studies and the significant contribution that studies involving mice are making to the improvement of human health.
