EUROMENE – the European Network on ME/CFS
Funded by COST – a European framework supporting trans-national cooperation among researchers, engineers and scholars across Europe – EUROMENE aims to create an integrated network of researchers on ME/CFS in Europe and beyond.
The network will promote multidisciplinarity in ME/CFS research and foster a full chain of translational research to further develop much-needed treatment and prevention strategies for improvement of patients’ quality of life.
- to develop strategies to collect population-based data on the prevalence of ME/CFS in Europe
- to promote co-operation and involvement of research groups
- to define a standardized clinical diagnosis for ME/CFS for clinicians and researchers
- to coordinate efforts to determine the social impact of ME/CFS and to appraise the economic damage from the disease.
- to establish communication links with industrial organisations
- to develop strategies to collect population-based data on the prevalence of ME/CFS
