The HIV Symposium, taking place in Ghent on 20–23 September 2026, brings together leading researchers and community representatives to explore the latest developments in HIV cure research, from HIV reservoir assessment to new clinical strategies.

Our member Siegfried Schwarze will represent EATG in the panel discussion “European scientific sovereignty in biomedical research: the HIV cure case”, alongside experts from Belgium and Switzerland. His participation highlights the importance of community perspectives in discussions about the future of HIV cure research and the development of clinically feasible strategies.

EATG is proud to endorse this call for strong, independent and sustainable EU health civil society.

187 civil society organisations (CSOs) from across Europe and sectors are standing together in support of EU health civil society and calling for the restoration of meaningful, adequate and predictable operating grants, under EU4Health and beyond.

Patients, communities, citizens and independent civil society organisations bring essential expertise and lived experience to European health policymaking. Their meaningful participation strengthens democracy and helps ensure that EU health policies respond to the realities of the people they are intended to serve.

Independent EU health CSOs need meaningful, adequate and sustainable operating support to continue doing this work. Project-based funding alone cannot provide the stability, independence and institutional capacity needed for effective and meaningful participation in EU policymaking.

That is why we are joining this call and asking the European Commission and EU Member States to reinstate meaningful, adequate and sustainable operating grants for EU health CSOs under the 2026 EU4Health Work Programme.

"The big question is not whether researchers can get enough funding to do exploratory studies, but whether the world will be willing to provide the money for a cure for all, regardless of who they are and where they’re from. That question dominated the conference. My failure to find a theme was based on a feeling that all the busy research and science was pointless if the global will to apply it was missing."

In this blog, Gus Cairns reflects on , the promise of science, and the uncomfortable gap between what research can achieve and what the world is willing to make accessible to everyone.

"Evidence matters. Epidemiology matters. Biomedical innovation matters. But numbers cannot tell us everything about why a prevention technology that works perfectly in a clinical trial never reaches somebody who needs it. Communities often know why. We know which doors people are afraid to walk through. We know which language makes someone feel judged. We know why an intervention that looks excellent on paper might fail completely in a particular community. And when we do not know, we know that the first thing to do is ask. That knowledge is not supplementary to HIV expertise. It is HIV expertise."

In this new blog, Paulie Amanita Calderon-Cifuentes reflects on presenting EATG’s SCOPE project at
