EVI – European Vision Institute
http://www.europeanvisioninstitute.orgThe European Vision Institute is an European Economic Interest Grouping (EVI eeig) and was legally constituted in 2003 under European law as a non-profit, science–driven organisation.
The aim of EVI eeig is to devise and implement programs and projects for new therapeutic strategies for eye diseases that are difficult or impossible to treat currently. Its approach will incorporate the most recent scientific developments of the postgenomic area. EVI eeig is targeted towards the more immediate policy objectives of improving the competitiveness of European research by assembling the leading institutions (with partners) from industry and academia.
