How do we make research meaningful for everyone? 🤝✨

We’re excited to share a new video featuring Dr. Patricia Logullo as we prepare for the 11th International EBHC Conference in beautiful Taormina! 🇮🇹

Dr. Logullo explores why "Open Research" and "Public Involvement" are two sides of the same coin. It’s not just about publishing data—it’s about involving patients, clinicians, and the public in the journey of discovery to make evidence more sustainable and trustworthy.

In this video, we discuss:
✅ Moving from "good intentions" to practical public involvement.
✅ How to handle differing priorities among stakeholders.
✅ Why inclusive research is the key to fighting misinformation.

Are we seeing the whole picture, or just the parts we choose to cite? 🧐

As we journey toward EBHC 2026, we are excited to share a vital conversation between Tiziano Innocenti and Professor Hans Lund (Western Norway University of Applied Sciences).

They dive deep into citation bias—a hidden hurdle in the health research ecosystem. Selective citation doesn't just skew narratives; it fuels research waste and can distort what the scientific community believes to be true.

If we want a stronger evidence ecosystem, we have to look at how we use evidence, not just how we make it.

Will AI compromise rigor or revolutionize evidence synthesis? 🤖

Dear EBHC community, the landscape is shifting under our feet. Digital tools and Artificial Intelligence are rapidly entering our systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, and HTAs.

The potential is massive, but the question remains: How do we ensure responsible use without losing human oversight?

At the 11th International EBHC Conference (Oct 21–24, 2026), we aren't just presenting data; we are defining the rules of the road for the digital era. We need your expertise to answer the tough questions.

We are calling for abstracts on:
🔹 AI-assisted rapid reviews & synthesis.
🔹 Living systematic reviews and guidelines.
🔹 The ethics and equity of AI-enabled workflows.
🔹 Balancing speed with methodological rigor.

Are you ready to shape the future of trustworthy evidence?

Building the future of health on solid foundations. 🏛️

From Bergen to Taormina, the message is clear: No new research should start without looking at what we already know.

We are moving beyond methodological rigor to focus on real-world impact. It’s time to ensure that innovation is built on research that genuinely deserves to shape clinical practice and patient care.

Join us at the 11th International EBHC Conference in Sicily!
📅 21–24 October 2026
📍 Taormina, Italy 🇮🇹

We’re bridging the gap between research and practice to ensure global equity and sustainable health systems. 🌍

Is the "Fear Of Missing Out" driving your research tools? 🤔

It feels like every day there is a new AI tool we "must" use.
But at what cost?

As we prepare for the EBHC International Conference 2026, Dr. Patricia Logullo reminds us of something crucial: Technology is a tool, but people are the mission.

We need to look past the hype and ask:
🔹 Are we protecting our critical thinking skills?
🔹 Are we considering the environmental impact of data centers? 🔹 Are we keeping patient trust safe?

At EBHC 2026, we are creating a space that celebrates Human Intelligence. It’s a place where methods evolve, but the "Human Element"—empathy, rigour, and connection—remains at the center.

We are looking for partners who share this vision! If you represent a University, Institute, or Publisher that believes in the future of evidence-based healthcare, join us as a sponsor. Let's shape the future together.

How can artificial intelligence support, rather than replace, human judgment in clinical decision-making?

In his latest blog article for the International Conference, Prof. Gordon Guyatt — pioneer of Evidence-Based Medicine and co-chair of the GRADE Working Group— explores how AI can enhance the assessment of evidence while maintaining rigor, , and patient focus.

“AI will greatly facilitate the process, but success will require major human input by someone with a deep understanding of GRADE methods.”

Discover his insights on the evolving collaboration between humans and machines in evidence-based healthcare.
