We want to create a world in which epidemics and pandemics are no longer a threat to humanity.
CEPI is working to galvanise the development of new vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against diseases that could cause the next devastating epidemic or pandemic.
Our approach
Research and development
CEPI is leading a broad range of ambitious programmes that aim to substantially reduce global epidemic and pandemic risk.
Calls for Proposals
Innovators worldwide are invited to apply to our scientific programmes to advance the development and manufacture of vaccines and tools against epidemic and pandemic threats.
Manufacturing and supply chain
CEPI is bolstering global manufacturing capacity in underserved regions and harnessing innovative technologies to improve the speed, scale and access of vaccine manufacturing in response to epidemic and pandemic threats.

A commitment to equitable access informs every aspect of our work. It is core to CEPI’s vision of a world in which epidemics and pandemics are no longer a threat to humanity.
CEPI take a systems approach to equitable access, seeking to enable equitable access within a broad ecosystem of national and international public and private sector partners and networks.
We work towards this goal by enabling equitable access directly through financial investments and partnerships, and indirectly through advocacy and policy contributions to the evolving ecosystem.
