At the World Vaccine Congress in Barcelona, we had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Claire Sears from EMS Healthcare, who shared her expertise on advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in vaccine research. Key takeaways from Claire’s session: 1️⃣ Global Perspectives on EDI: Addressing diversity requires recognizing its varied meanings across countries and embedding these considerations early in study design. 2️⃣ Data-Driven Solutions: EMS Healthcare leverages rich UK datasets to strategically place community research sites, improving participant retention and engagement by reflecting local demographics. 3️⃣ Sustainability in Action: Beyond inclusivity, EMS Healthcare’s innovative mobile units also support environmental sustainability with features like solar power and reduced travel distances for participants. Claire emphasized the importance of challenging the status quo and ensuring that EDI efforts are baked into every phase of vaccine development. 🎟️Register now for 2025! https://buff.ly/3X4OEPj 📆 Pre-Congress Workshops | 13 October 2025 📆 Main Congress | 14-16 October 2025 📍RAI Convention Centre, Amsterdam, Netherlands #WVCEU #WorldVaccineCongress #Vaccine #HealthcareInnovation #HealthcareLeaders
