EuroBioForum is a forum funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme from 2011 to 2014 to bring together researchers and funders in personalized medicine. It operates through annual conferences, a personalized medicine observatory, community development activities, and special interest group meetings to help align resources and deliver health benefits in Europe through synergistic collaboration between stakeholders like healthcare professionals, governments, funders, science, citizens, and industry. The organization is managed by a team and advised by a strategic board of experts from several European countries.
