EPICE is part of a large, newly established European research project, RECAP - Research on Children and Adults born Preterm.

The project’s objectives are to establish a data and communications platform in order to integrate, harmonise and study data from 20 European cohorts of very preterm or low birth weight children and adults. The platform will include data from cohorts and national registries from 13 European countries, established from the 1980s onwards. It will enable analyses that cannot be studied in national population cohorts, expand the use of existing cohorts and make conceptual, methodological and analytical contributions to integrating them.

The RECAP kick-off meeting took place 13-15 February in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
