The Brighton Collaboration (BC) is a non-profit global vaccine safety research network based in Basel, Switzerland. It is named after the city in England where the idea was first formulated.[2]
The Brighton Collaboration was launched in 2000, although the idea of the collaboration started one year earlier, following a presentation by Bob Chen at an international scientific vaccine conference in Brighton. In his talk, he stressed the need to improve vaccine safety monitoring by developing internationally accepted standards.[3]
The Brighton Collaboration is a program of the Task Force for Global Health, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It is primarily funded by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and has received funding from a variety of scientific and public health organizations since its inception.[4]
Non-funding partners of the Collaboration include the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences, European Medicines Agency, Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization.[4]
