EFORT actively collaborates with EU policymakers directly or through the Biomedical Alliance, to ensure the orthopaedic and trauma community's voice is heard in shaping healthcare and research policies. Through evidence-based proposals, partnerships, and involvement in EU-funded projects and expert committees, EFORT contributes to key initiatives like the Medical Device Regulation and Continuing Medical Education.
The EFORT Committee on European Affairs plays a vital role in monitoring EU developments, fostering collaboration, and positioning our organisation as a key partner in addressing Europe’s health and Research challenges. It conveys concerns and expectations of national associations to European decision-makers.
