DSxHE Data Diversity and READI - Designing Inclusive Clinical Trials: A European Perspective
How can we design clinical studies that are truly inclusive and representative? If you work in clinical research, you'll know that getting diverse, representative populations into trials is easier said than done.
the Data Science for Health Equity Data Diversity Theme will join forces with the IHI READI Project for a conversation on what inclusive and representative clinical study design looks like in practice to discuss the challenges, the lessons learned, and where we go from here.
We are pleased that READI project partners will contribute to the discussion:
- Bruno Jolain, MD – Portfolio and Strategy Lead, Population Science, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd
- Zoi-Dorothea Pana, MD, MSc, PhD, FECMM – Professor of Paediatrics and Epidemiology, University of Nicosia, Cyprus
- Salma Malik, PhD – Senior Project Manager, Paediatric & PPI Specialist, ECRIN (European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network)
Together, they will explore the challenges, lessons learned, and opportunities ahead to better place underserved and underrepresented populations at the centre of clinical research across Europe.
- Monday, 22 June 2026
- 14:30–16:00 BST
- Online via Zoom
The session will also provide space for participants to share their own experiences, reflect on the gaps they are seeing, and discuss the questions that remain open across the clinical research ecosystem.
Free to attend and open to all.
