DEVELOPMENT OF THE EUROPEAN GROUP’S TERMS OF REFERENCE AND GUIDING PRINCIPLESThe JBI European Group comprises all JBI European Centres. (Collaborating and Affiliate). Its purpose and aims are to strengthen the

working relationships between European centres, enhance the production of evidence syntheses and improve our opportunities for

applying for EU funding. The specific aims of the group are to:

• Develop a coherent and strong regional presence within the JBI Collaboration;

• Develop peer support and working partnerships among European Centres to support and extend JBI collaborative activity;

• Pool expertise and resources to pursue appropriate research, synthesis and translation activity including funded projects;

• Coordinate regional responses to issues raised by the JBI research centre.
