Co-Research in Action: Sharing Insights, Inspiring Involvement

Online workshop, register now!

Research in healthcare is increasingly conducted together with patients, rather than just for or about them. But how exactly can co-researchers (patients) and researchers truly collaborate?

When: Tuesday 6th of May, 11:00-13:00 CET
Where: Online, via Teams (link sent upon registration)
Costs: Participation is free
For whom: Everyone interested in co-research, with varying levels of experience (researchers, co-researchers, patients, health care professionals, policy makers, industry)

The EUonQol project | Quality of Life in Oncology cordially invites you to the workshop ‘Co-Research in Action: Sharing Insights, Inspiring Involvement’, led by Nivel.

How can co-research drive meaningful change?

This is the central question in this inspiring workshop on co-research. Bringing together diverse perspectives, the workshop is a joint initiative of researchers and co-researchers. Drawing from their experiences in the EUonQoL project, they will share valuable insights and lead thought-provoking discussions on the challenges of co-research.

The EUonQoL project contributes to EU initiatives against cancer, by developing the European Oncology Quality of Life Toolkit (EUonQoL-kit) – a patient-centred tool designed to assess quality of life among cancer patients and survivors.
