  • ‘Motivating large numbers of clinicians embarking on an ambitious project as BFCC sometimes raises suspicions: “Is Big Brother watching us? Or are far-off academics just harvesting our data for their own obscure purposes?”’ says Dr Colin Currie from the University of Edinburgh.

  • On January, 10-11 the partners of the BFCC project will come together for a project meeting in Hamburg, Germany to catch up on the latest activities within the different work packages and to discuss their further proceeding. For the first time also the members of the Project Advisory Board (PAB) will join. The PAB consists of experts aiming to give impulses and advices to the project from a stakeholder’s point of view in order to contribute to the project’s strategic development. The conclusions and outcomes of the PAB meeting will be taken adequately into consideration in the decision making process during the BFCC project to maximise the impact of the project results.
