Science to Business - European Science Open Forum (ESOF), Copenhagen
09h00 – 10h15, Monday 23 June 2014 (Malting Hall)


Session Description

Health is big business ‰– and a lynchpin of development-based foreign policy. This roundtable brings together global leaders in medical research from public and private sectors to discuss the best ways of working together for the benefit of people worldwide.

We will have a flexible format of fact-driven case-studies, moderated by an experienced science correspondent, with time for questions, answers and discussion. Speakers will show how health diplomacy drives business and vice versa, with examples around TB, malaria and HIV/AIDS control. How for example should an international pharma company price a TB drug that will be used mainly in poor countries, in a way that provides some return for its R&D investment but keeps the product affordable by patients who need it most? How can we prevent abuse of low-cost medicines? How can Africa build innovative partnerships between science and business, while building up its own indigenous research capacity?

Session Format: Traditional lecture but highly interactive

Session Duration: 1h15 minutes

Target Audience: Scientists, General Public, Policy-Makers
