GA²LEN, or Global Allergy and Asthma European Network, is a

Research teams were chosen for their scientific excellence, their record on multidisciplinary working and international collaboration, and their educational activities. Since the launch of the Network, it has grown to include an additional 50 collaborating centres making GA²LEN one of the largest multidisciplinary networks of researchers in allergy and asthma worldwide.

Integrating European research

Europe has produced some of the most important recent findings on allergy and asthma, but research tends to be fragmented in different institutes and even in different departments of the same organization. Findings are not always shared nor rapidly translated into changes in practice. The GA²LEN Network of Excellence (NoE) exists to help integrate research activities in Europe and to establish the structure for a European Research Area of excellence in allergy and asthma that will endure.

Spreading knowledge and excellence

The network aims to accelerate the application of research results into

By addressing allergy and asthma in their totality, GA²LEN's ultimate objective is to benefit the well-being of patients by decreasing the burden of allergic diseases in Europe.
