EU Research to Boost Utility of Alternative Medicine

The CAMbrella project aims to develop a European research plan boosting the utility of alternative medicine, and to help to develop regulation.

A European Union research project is trying to create consensus over scientific principles affecting complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), sufficiently robust to inspire EU regulation.

 

The CAMbrella project involves academics from Germany, UK, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Romania, Spain, France, Denmark, Austria and Sweden, and is scheduled to end in December 2012. The EU is contributing €1.4m.

 

Its aim, said a European Commission note, is to develop a European research plan boosting the utility of alternative medicine, and to help to develop regulation, with studies "acceptable to the EU parliament as well as their national research funders and healthcare providers."
