Building a permanent science-driven public infrastructure that would perform both biomedical research and development, with the mission to deliver affordable medical innovation to everyone: a detailed proposal, originally born within the ForumDD and today supported by a wide range of very high-level scientists and civic organisations all over Europe, was discussed and taken very seriously on 28 September in the European Parliament at the request of the Science and Technology Assessment Panel

The highest abstention rate ever and the outcome of the vote are the result of a striking gap between the country’s vibrancy and its translation into political-organizations. The ForumDD, as many other organizations, will continue to design and advocate for rigorous and radical proposals with even greater vigour, thanks to a strategy of alliances: mission alliances, alliances to strengthen society’s voice, to rise the demand for a “party of social and environmental justice” that does not exist, alliances with those members of Parliament that do search for a continuous link with society.

A fairer future is possible. Memorandum for post Covid-19 in Italy

English, Strategia1 Comment

In this essay we summarize the strategy for a fairer future put forward by the ForumDD. While some cases are specific to Italy, the commonality of the problems have led us to believe our blueprint to be useful for a wider audience. In what follows, we identify the main inequalities and structural weaknesses brought to the fore by the crisis. Despite the systemic uncertainty still with us, we also attempt to pin down the social, economic, and institutional trends triggered by the crisis. This allows us to identify the many bifurcations ahead of us and to propose seven short-term actions and five strategic objectives supported by concrete proposals.
