Building research capacity in ICU patient recovery research: an experience in establishing an early career researcher ICU international collaborative network

Abstract

International collaboration network for early career intensive care (ICU) researchers from University of Edinburgh, University of Dundee and Griffith University was first started in 2010 in Edinburgh, Scotland in the form of a summer school. This was followed by a second workshop which was hosted by Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. In 2013, the third workshop was held in Finland hosted by University of Turku. The special aim of the third workshop was improving the quality of intensive care and, of course, strengthen the opportunities for early career ICU researchers to further improve their research skills and develop their understanding of international collaborative research.
