These task forces translate Research Academy strategy into real-world, large-scale evidence generation and applied innovation.
Global Research Network (GRN) Task Force
The GRN is the operational engine that delivers SICOT’s collaborative multi-centre studies — connecting investigators across member nations and providing study coordination, governance oversight, and quality assurance. The GRN Task Force supports the operational delivery of these functions, including study activation, site coordination, data quality oversight, and investigator support.
Innovation Task Force
The Innovation Task Force is a newly established body, inspired by the inaugural SICOT Innovation Fair held at the World Orthopaedic Congress in Madrid (September 2025). It is tasked with fostering a culture of applied innovation across the global orthopaedic community — identifying, evaluating, showcasing, and accelerating novel devices, implants, AI applications, software, surgical techniques, and utility models from SICOT members worldwide.
