The SENSITISE project focuses on inclusive clinical trials training and education to increase the involvement of under-served groups in health research. This work is co-funded by the European Union through the ERASMUS鈥�+鈥塸rogramme (2023-1-IE02-KA220-HED-000159532). The three-year project brings together expertise and builds upon work already carried out within the consortium led by University College Cork, Ireland; with partner institutions 黑料网; Masaryk University, Czech Republic; and the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (ECRIN).
The online SENSITISE curriculum incorporates novel content from experts in the domain, complemented by innovative learning methods to help participants develop transferable skills and reasoning.聽 The course is aimed at biomedical and health professions students and will transform practices to be inclusive, and ensure appropriate representation of under-served groups.
The SENSITISE course will be accessible in English, Czech, French and German. Moreover, to support the integration into existing university curriculum, Teaching Guides will be made available to support onsite or hybrid integration of the materials. In addition, workshops aimed at researchers and those working in clinical trials committed to equity in clinical trials will be delivered, the first of which was聽in November 2025 .
