The EU provides opportunities and funding for public health and medical research across Europe. We work to ensure that people with lung conditions and the general public have the opportunity to influence research and guidelines at the European level.
One way of achieving this is through participation in EU-funded research projects, in which we advocate for patient involvement, from project design to dissemination.
ELF is primarily interested in pan-European collaboration initiatives, with scope for improving the lives of people with respiratory conditions with tangible outcomes. Our goal in EU projects is twofold:
ELF is motivated to involve patients in all stages of EU projects. Involvement of those with expertise in living with a condition in research study design, on ethics boards and patient input groups can help ensure that recruitment targets are met and that the patients taking part in research can have a positive experience, that real-world outcomes are achieved by the project, appropriate communication and dissemination of the project to key stakeholders outside of the respiratory professional community and a legacy for the project.
If you are interested in involving ELF in an EU project, please read through all of the information below and submit a proposal form to info@europeanlung.org
DRAGON will use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to deliver a decision support system for precise coronavirus diagnosis using CT scanning. A full project website will be available in early 2021. See below for information about the work packages, project partners and how to get involved.
