Research

The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine has a long tradition of involvement in key areas of intensive care research. Our aim is to foster collaborative research initiatives among our members, across countries and continents, pushing the boundaries of medical knowledge where there is most need.

Research Committee Activities

The ESICM Research Committee overlooks a broad range of research initiatives related to intensive care medicine.

Our Research Awards Programme provides direct funding for those areas of research identified as requiring urgent investigation.
Our members rely on ESICM research for endorsement of their research projects and surveys.
ESICM coordinates a number of high profile trials in intensive care medicine.
Through its initiatives, the Research Committee aims to encourage newcomers to research to discover this most rewarding area of intensive care medicine.
