Since the launch of the Network, it has grown to include an additional 50 collaborating centres, making GA²LEN one of the largest multidisciplinary networks of researchers in allergy and asthma worldwide. By addressing allergy and asthma in their totality, GA²LEN's stated objective is to benefit the well-being of patients by decreasing the burden of allergic diseases in Europe.
The GA²LEN Network of Excellence (NoE) exists to help integrate research activities in Europe and to establish the structure for a European Research Area of excellence in allergy and asthma.[1] The network aims to accelerate the application of research results into clinical practice, to meet the needs of patients, and to help guide policy development. It also aims to promote training and greater integration between public and private sectors in this medical field.[2]
