The Wellcome Trust is a global foundation dedicated to improving health. We are the largest charitable funder in Europe by spend. We provide around €1 billion a year to support research in science and the humanities, as well as education, public engagement and the translation of research into health benefits. Our investment portfolio of €24 billion allows us to support transformative work such as the sequencing of the human genome and research to develop new treatments for malaria.
Our advocacy work seeks to ensure that the policy and regulatory environment in Europe promotes research and its benefits, while maintaining public confidence. We are independent of both political and commercial interests.Main EU files targeted
