European Society For Clinical Investigation

The European Society for Clinical Investigation (ESCI) was founded February 12, 1967 as a pan-European society of clinicians and scientists with an interest in discovering the mechanisms of disease. Unrestricted by national borders, the company provides a forum for discussion, debate and meet with colleagues to advance the science of clinical research. The long-term clinical investigation is interpreted widely, from bench to bedside and vice versa, including relevant animal studies to human health and disease. ESCI's objectives are: promotion of medical practice through biomedical science, growing clinical research by the methods of natural science, correlation of the art of science and medicine, promote high standards of ethical practice and investigation, and disseminating a spirit of brotherhood and international cooperation between and through its members. ESCI publishes the monthly European Journal of Clinical Investigation (EJCI) containing important documents in the field of clinical research. The long-term clinical investigation is interpreted broadly to include biomedical research from bench to bedside and vice versa, including animal studies the relevance for human health and disease. The impact factor of the current review is 2.734. ESCI hosts an annual scientific meeting. Each year, ESCI gives two awards for the best clinical and basic items of the year published in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation (EJCI).
