The European Vaccine Initiative (EVI) is a non-profit organization based in Heidelberg, Germany, focused on supporting vaccine candidates that address diseases of poverty. Its role centers on federating major European entities involved in designing, developing, and testing novel vaccines, and serving as a hub for EU and global vaccine research by coordinating multiple externally funded consortia aimed at accelerating the development of safe, effective, and affordable vaccines. The organization targets public health needs in low-resource settings by linking researchers, institutions, and initiatives across the vaccine development landscape to advance candidates through coordinated efforts. EVI operates within the global health and vaccine research sector, positioning itself as a coordinating and collaborative platform rather than a traditional research lab or product manufacturer. Recent activity includes partnerships and multistakeholder workshops that advance collaborative vaccine research programs and disseminate key outcomes from these collaborative efforts.
