The European Society for Clinical Investigation (ESCI) was founded on February 12, 1967 as a pan-European society of clinicians and scientists. The Society covers all the topics of biomedical sciences and aims to create a common platform for researchers in fundamental sciences (e.g., genetics, biochemistry, physiology...) and applied clinical medicine (e.g., oncology, cardiology, neurology...) More recently, the Society has embraced a cross-sectional and future-oriented vision, including topics like bioinformatics, digital health, personalized medicine and gender medicine. The term clinical investigation should be therefore interpreted widely, including the whole biomedical research from bench-to-bedside and vice versa.
The main objective of ESCI is to lead clinical and translational research across Europe. The Society pursues this objective through the follwoing actions:
ESCI is associated to the monthly publication European Journal of Clinical Investigation (EJCI), a peer-reviewed scientific journal, publishing articles in all the fields of biomedical sciences and clinical research. EJCI accepts original research, research letters, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, narrative reviews, editorial and commentaries from all over the world. significant papers in the field of clinical investigation. The current (2024) journal impact factor is 3.6. EJCI ranks Q1 in the field "General & Internal Medicine" and Q2 in "Research & Experimental Medicine". [1]
Every year, ESCI gives two awards and money prizes for the best basic and clinical research articles of the year published in European Journal of Clinical Investigation (EJCI). A significant part of the research must have been performed in Europe. The recipient of each of the awards delivers a plenary lecture during the Annual Scientific Meeting of ESCI, summarising the work for which the award was given.
