The Brighton Collaboration (BC) is a global non-profit research network dedicated to advancing the science of vaccine safety. Historically, it began by enhancing the quality and comparability of vaccine safety data through standardized tools and methods. It develops standardized case definitions, data collection guidelines, and related tools for vaccine safety monitoring around the world. Since 2019, the Collaboration has functioned as a program under the Task Force for Global Health. Its work is recognized and referenced by international entities such as the World Health Organization (WHO), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
