News & Activities

The SENSITISE project will host its first multiplier event in conjunction with International Clinical Trials Day: Rethinking Clinical Trials: Inclusivity in Practice on 20 May 2025. This event is organised by ECRIN and its national partner in Spain, SCReN. It brings together international stakeholders from the clinical research community, in Europe and even worldwide.

As we progress in our Methodology Monday article spotlight, in April, we bring you strategies to increase inclusion in healthcare and clinical studies. This month the selection includes a couple of literature reviews but also publications that highlight the work to come out of key meetings that unite different stakeholders to discuss the inclusion of underserved populations.

Five interesting articles were included in the 2^nd month of our Methodology Monday campaign. They include a focus on the use of technology (digital trials, decentralised trials), and a couple of literature reviews with recommendations to overcome identified barriers and highlight the lack of inclusion of persons with disabilities.

To promote the hard work of those supporting inclusivity in clinical trials SENSITISE will endeavour to share an interesting publication from the field weekly on Methodology Monday on its LinkedIn channel. Below you can find the recap of the posts for the month of February that focus on eligibility criteria as a whole and in particular through the lens of three different medical fields.

The inaugural meeting of the SENSITISE project took place on February 20th 2024. The event marked the offical kick-off of the project and saw the partners gather at University College Cork for two days of productive planning and devlopment sessions.
