QoL liaisons are members of both the Quality of Life (QoL) Group (QLG) and another EORTC group (e.g., disease-oriented, cross-disciplinary, council or task force), with expertise in QoL research. Their role is to connect the two groups, support the inclusion of QoL endpoints in EORTC clinical trials, provide insights into the QoL aspects of EORTC trials and research projects, and help keep both groups updated on relevant activities and studies.

If you have any questions, please contact us via the contact form.
