During the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of vaccines as an essential tool towards global health security has never been clearer and vaccines are now offering a route out of the pandemic and prolonged period of lockdown in those parts of the world where they are widely available. In-line with the scale and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists, governments and pharmaceutical manufacturers have worked together to deliver the most accelerated timelines for discovery and licencing of a vaccine product in history. How was this achieved, what have we learned and what would we do differently next time?

In this half-day event, the Department of Health and Social Care’s UK Vaccine Network funded Future Vaccine Manufacturing Research Hubs, FVMR Hub and Vax-Hub, are pleased to invite you to explore the role of academia in vaccine manufacturing research innovation, contribute to the discussion about the UK's positioning in global health research and international development, and reflect on the lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic to shape future research in this area.
