Other news

These partners are at the heart of the network’s scientific activities – in other words, the EBP life cycle.

This cycle consists of units that each correspond to a stage of a scientific process that promotes, monitors and incorporates the EBP approach into daily practice.

Each unit is coordinated by a key partner – which may or may not be involved with others to share expertise and knowledge.

Core partners meet monthly to maintain ongoing collaboration and the production of high-quality, up-to-date scientific information. 


The members of the network’s Federal Steering Board represent federal government bodies. They fund Evikey's activities. 

These are the organisations representing users – health care providers and patients – actively involved in Evikey network activities via the Advisory Board. 

Representatives of EBP practitioners, patients, “mutuelles” and stakeholders

These are organisations that play an important role in the health sector in Belgium and with which Evikey collaborates on an ad hoc or regular basis, but which are not directly involved in the activities of the network.
