Another aim of the Scientific & Research Committee is to endorse studies run by members of the E-AHPBA. The Committee will review any application and decide of the study/project/survey should be endorsed. Please follow this link to view the list of E-AHPBA endorsed studies, survey or meetings.

Every E-AHPBA member can contact the Committee to propose new studies or to ask for assistance in the promotion of the own studies, surveys or meetings. Members interesting in applying for endorsement from the E-AHPBA Scientific & Research Committee for their study or project can read more on our website here.

The future direction for the Committee is to develop a strategy to run PROSPECTIVE studies and to develop an E-AHPBA Scientific Fellowship to foster clinical research within E-AHPBA community. This is an opportunity that could be offered to industry partners to support.

On behalf of the E-AHPBA Scientific & Research Committee,
Mickaël Lesurtel,
Committee Chair.
