UAEM
Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM) is an international initiative
that links members of universities around the world
who are concerned that the research, patenting, and licensing policies of
academic institutions are restricting access to medicines in poor countries.
We spend most of our time lobbying TTOs and administrations at various universities
to change their policies with regard to technology transfer and licensing
of university innovations in order to increase access to essential medicines.
In cooperation with top experts in international medicine access and technology transfer,
UAEM has created a unique contract that universities can adopt to
maintain or even improve drug development while increasing access to medical innovations
in lower and middle-income countries.
