The SIP Joint Statement is now available in several languages!

If your organisation has not endorsed yet, do not worry! You can still endorse a joint statement by contacting jamie.wilkinson@efic.org or mariana.branco@pae-eu.eu. Endorsements indicate that your organisation agrees with the general lines of the joint statement, that you would like this policy area to be further developed, and that you would be open to further collaboration on this joint statement.

After closing of the Thematic Network Program 2018 on January 31st, Societal Impact of Pain has been transformed into a Stakeholder network group. Future collaboration will take place through these stakeholders' networks in the EU Health Policy Platform (EU HPP).
