  1. Alessandra Scagliarini Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna ITPGAH Bruxelles 27/02/2008

  2. Where did we start from? In general, an examination of national funding to research may provide insights of national priorities Animal Health Research in ITALY

  3. WHO DOES RESEARCH? UNIVERSITY 1. Italian research in the field of animal health is extremely fragmented

  4. REASONS FOR FRAGMENTATION ISS IZS UNIVERSITY Ministry of health MUR RESEARCH FUNDING IS SCATTERED BETWEEN DIFFERENT BODIES Few public-private partnerships

  5. Scarce involvement and co-ordination of Italian representatives in the elaboration of Eurpean strategies on animal health; • Uncoordinated lobbing activities; • Insufficient interaction between research institutes and industry; • Insufficient interactions between industry and Regulatory Authorities;

  6. http://www.unibo.it/Portale/Ricerca/GAH.htm December 2006 ITPGAH could represent a possible solution……. ITPGAH is creating a discussion forum between different stakeholders, under the leadership of industryto focus research on national priorities And to avoid duplications for a more effective use of resources and limited funds

  7. The Technology Platform has 5 components: ・ An Executive Committee ・ A Scientific Committee ・ Working groups ・ Member State “mirror groups” ・ A Secretariat Structure and functioning of ITPGAH

  8. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IZLER stefano.cinotti@bs.izs.it

  9. SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE

  10. http://www.unibo.it/Portale/Ricerca/lancioitpgah.htm Communication at national level

  11. …..Next events • Participation to Exposanità 28-31 may 2008 • Participation to NUTRIPHARM & BIOSECURITY Porto Conte 31th may 2008 • Invited to participate to the International Biotechnology Symposium and Exhibition"-IBS-2010

  12. Who has already endorsed ITPGAH? The endorsement form is available on line to allow all the italian stakeholders to join the platform and contribute to the implementation of the related documents

  13. Action plan and selection of priorities WHAT WE HAVE DONE PROVIDE A NATIONAL DIMENSION

  14. 1 Prioritise animal diseases 2 Gap Analysis Developing a model for prioritisation is a good way to guarantee transparency in defining research topics BUT The ETPGAH MODEL CAN BE HARDLY ADAPTED TO NATIONAL NEEDINGS and TYPICAL PRODUCTIONS

  15. 1 Prioritise animal diseases 2 Gap Analysis minor species tipicality safety

  16. ITPGAH WILL INVESTIGATE CRITERIA TO DEVELOP A NEW MODEL OF PRIORITISATION

  17. 3 Fundamental research Italy has a good scientific research base But the translation of scientific discoveries into new products Needs to be significantly improved Too much time and resources lost in HOBBY RESEARCH

  18. CO-ORDINATION vs FRAGMENTATION

  19. 4 Improve Technology Transfer Can italian SME compete with international BIGS? R&D support actions MINOR SPECIES NEED AD HOC DRUGS GOVERNMENT SHOULD ENHANCE APPROPRIATE MEANS TO DEAL WITH IP AND PROVIDE FUNDS TO INCENTIVE PATENTING and GMP and GLP

  20. 5 Regulatory & Societal Issues • Government plays a major role in shaping the business environment for animal health companies • Italian companies recognize the need for Government actions • Need for simplification of existing legislation without compromising human and animal health • Fragmentation between national and central authorisations is the major point of criticism from local industries harmonisation

  21. 6 Global Perspective ITALY SHARES many characteristics with countries of the Mediterranean area Livestock productions, climate, sanitary problems TADs PROMOTE CO-PERATION PROJECTS BETWEEN Med COUNTRIES To safeguard European livestock productions
