Collaboration with National as well as Specialty Societies and other partners shall be strengthened in order to fulfil the intention of improved research in Orthopaedics and Traumatology.

An important tool is the approval of third party projects which support this intention appropriately. The following steps have to be completed during the application process, to guarantee approval and endorsement of high quality research activities.

The following procedure must be followed for a project to be declared an “EFORT Endorsed Project”:
