It is an emerging scientific field highly relevant for health scientists, clinicians, as well as policy makers interested to implement and sustain scientific evidence in daily clinical practice settings.

The inaugural lecture took place on Friday 15 March 2019. The final lecture was on 17 May 2019, with co-lecturer Dr Karim Berkouk of the European Commission.
