Expert pool
Call status: open
The expert pool will serve to:
- Invite experts to future topic-specific groups activities. The definition of recommendations and requirements will rely to a large extend on the topic-specific groups activities working on specific healthcare questions. Potential candidates will be selected from the expert pool and will be invited to join a given topic-specific group when and as needed. The topic-specific groups will be dissolved when their specific mandate has been fulfilled and will therefore last for a limited period of time.
- Replace ECICC working group members when and as needed.
- Work temporarily as external experts on specific topics.
All clinical, scientific and technical experts in areas related to the initiative (see the expertise required), but also patients and/or caregivers are invited to apply using the specific online application form.
Please read carefully the amended call document before applying.
The ECICC expert pool call will remain open for the entire duration of the project.
Frequently asked questions
May I still apply to the ECICC expert pool if I am representing an organisation, community, or entity with interest in the ECICC activities?
You can only apply as an individual and you cannot represent any private, commercial or national interests while participating in the ECICC activities. However, a collaborators and partners group will be created after the establishment of the ECICC working group; gathering relevant international organisations active in the development of guidelines, patient organisations and international schemes representatives. The aim of this group is to guarantee consistent collaboration and to avoid duplication of efforts.
What workload should I expect if appointed as a member?
The estimated workload as a working group member or topic-specific group expert is between 2-3 days per month, each lasting from 1 to a maximum of 4 hours. Also, monthly preparatory and follow-up activities will require on average half- to one-day time distributed along the month.
If appointed as a member of the ECICC working group, am I supposed to carry out studies (i.e. systematic searches, epidemiologic modelling) according to my area of expertise(s)?
No, the ECICC working group members will evaluate the summary of evidence provided by independent external reviews in the various fields. Therefore, members must have the relevant knowledge to judge study protocols and results related to their area of expertise.
