Public Meeting for the COST Action “EVBRES” :
Research waste – can it be avoided when planning and reporting new studies?

When: Wednesday February 6th, 2019, 14:00-16:00

Redundant clinical research has been conducted and published due to underuse of systematic reviews (SR) when planning and reporting new research. It is unethical, limits the available funding for important and relevant research, and diminishes the public’s trust in research. In order to raise awareness of this inappropriate practice, the EVBRES-consortium define “Evidence-Based Research” (EBR) as the use of prior research in a systematic and transparent way to inform a new study so that it answers the questions that matter in a valid, efficient and accessible manner.
