PRC Forum

As a vital component of the PRC, the PRC Forum serves as a dynamic platform, fostering collaboration, expanding expertise, and enhancing research capabilities. 

The Clinician-in-the-Loop AI (CITL) expert panel brings together clinicians, AI researchers, ethicists, legal scholars, and implementation experts to discuss how uncertainty should be handled in clinical AI, where human oversight is needed, and how learning can continue after deployment. Join us to help shape a more trustworthy and practice-ready future for AI in healthcare. 
 
The CITL expert panel is for population health researchers, health services researchers, epidemiologists, and scholars interested in fair and clinically meaningful AI. This discussion matters because clinical AI systems can only be trustworthy if they reflect the populations they are intended to serve and if they are evaluated with real-world implementation in mind. 

PRC’s expertise in inclusive research, population-based thinking, and health equity is highly relevant to this debate. Attend to help shape how clinician-in-the-loop AI can better account for diversity, bias, uncertainty, and real-world healthcare settings. Join us on May 8, 2026, to explore how clinician-in-the-loop AI can be built on technical foundations that support transparency, oversight, and real clinical use. 

Be part of the panel conversation - seats are limited.

The PRC Annual Retreat and the PRC Seed Grant Symposium 2026 will take place as a joint event this year. Everyone interested in population research is warmly invited to attend.

Monday, June 15, 2026
12:00–16:00
KO2-F-152

The afternoon will begin with a 1-hour informal standing lunch, followed by two interactive presentation sessions. The first session will highlight projects funded through PRC Seed Grants. If you currently have, or previously received, a PRC Seed Grant and would like to present your ideas, ongoing work, or results, we would be very happy to hear from you.

The second session is open to all population researchers at UZH who would like to share research ideas, methods, data, or results with an interdisciplinary audience. The goal is to exchange feedback, spark discussion, and potentially connect with new collaborators.

Presentations will be very short pitches (a few minutes each) in order to leave ample time for discussion and networking.

• Informal standing lunch (60min)
• Seed Grant presentation session (75 min)
• Coffee break (30 min)
• Research presentation session (75 min)

If you would like to present, please send a short message to prc@uzh.ch. If you are interested but unsure whether your topic fits, feel free to reach out as well. Please contact us by April 30 (or earlier) if you would like to present so that we can prepare the program.

Registration is now open. Please register here by June 1. Of course, everyone is welcome to attend, even if you are not presenting.

Open to all UZH population researchers, the PRC Forum welcomes participants at every career stage. Join us at the UZH PRC Forum, where interdisciplinary collaboration, skills development, and meaningful networking converge to advance population-based research.  No prior PRC membership required.

We encourage PRC members to propose and organize their initiatives. The PRC Forum provides support and resources to bring your ideas to life. Propose your event or initiative by contacting prc@uzh.ch.

Please note that events are held irregularly. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming sessions.
