The Pasteur Network, (formerly known as the Pasteur Institute International Network), is a global alliance of 32 institutes, most named after Louis Pasteur, dedicated to addressing public health challenges through scientific research, innovation, and collaboration. Initially founded in 2011 as the Pasteur International Network, the association adopted a new governance model in 2021 and became the Pasteur Network.
Recognized as a non-state actor by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Pasteur Network maintains close ties with national health authorities, with many of its members working alongside local Ministries of Health. The network supports a global infrastructure, comprising more than 50 national and regional reference laboratories, including multiple Biosafety Level 3 facilities, and WHO Collaborating Centers.
During major public health crisis, like Ebola, MPox, or COVID-19 pandemic, members from the Pasteur Network worked on different aspect of public health research to tackle the disease, including surveillance, testing and virology analysis.
