Results
EU trials/epidemiological studies/networks/surveys and precision/personalised medicine
were, on average, the most highly ranked research areas in terms of potential to strengthen
collaboration between partners from different organisations, disciplines or sectors (Figure 8).
EU trials/epidemiological studies/networks/surveys was ranked higher than gut-brain
interaction/enteric nervous system/neural controls by 22 out of 33 societies. Life-style/
nutrition/diet/obesity and precision/personalised medicine were each ranked as having most
potential for collaboration by 7 societies (21%) (Figure 9). EU trials/epidemiological studies/
networks/surveys and medical training were each ranked as having most potential for
collaboration by 4 societies (12%).
