PAWO (Patient Advisory Council for Scientific Research @ Ghent University Hospital) actively involves (former) patients, relatives, caregivers, and others in all aspects of scientific research. (Patients and relatives bring a unique perspective to scientific research.)

During Knowledge 2 Connect, you will discover:

• The essence of patient participation in research and its profound benefits for patients, researchers, and the research itself.
• The origin story of PAWO and its members today
• How PAWO can become an invaluable partner in your research projects

After this introduction, two patients will share their experiences through inspiring testimonials.
