ECICC working groups

ECICC is supported by a working group and specialised topic-specific groups composed of physicians, epidemiologists, researchers, and patient representatives who joined the project on a voluntary basis upon public calls launched in 2021

Members

The members have signed declarations of confidentiality and commitment, and they submit annually a declaration of interests relevant for the project.

The groups supporting ECICC are:

  • A working group, which acts as the decision-making body to finalise the recommendation and requirement proposals from the topic-specific groups.
  • Topic-specific groups, which work predominantly on specific healthcare questions and requirements with the support of independent experts providing systematic reviews to develop proposals to be reviewed by the working group. These group activities have a limited duration.
