RestoRes will be present at the International Francophone Congress on Critical Thinking (CIFEC), taking place from 2-4 February 2027 at the University of Caen Normandy. The first edition of CIFEC will bring together researchers from different disciplines, as well as professionals involved in education, science communication, the media and the private sector, to explore critical thinking, information disorders and trust in science.
As part of the congress, RestoRes will organise a symposium focusing on several issues at the heart of the project, including “zombie trials”, editorial and financial conflicts of interest, and their implications for the reliability of the scientific literature and trust in research.
The symposium will provide an opportunity to present research and approaches aimed at identifying these challenges and developing concrete solutions to strengthen transparency, accountability and the quality of biomedical research.
