process
- Each member of the Vaccine Safety Initiative is an active part of the scientific community looking at any given issue from a different angle, and from a different part of the world. VIVI projects and initiatives are developed and agreed upon by the Think Tank during regular meetings. Each member has the opportunity to propose new projects or manuscript ideas and to contribute to ongoing work in between sessions.
- The interdisciplinary work process allows us to take a look at the big picture and to identify important areas of research and development that may have gone unnoticed. From the first day when we began working together until today, the momentum and productivity generated by this radically interdisciplinary work mode, has grown steadily.
- Through user-centered design, rapid prototyping and multiple iterations, we develop practical tools and solutions. In recent years, we have acquired significant expertise in combining the disruptive innovation technique of Design Thinking with the scientific scrutiny of implementation research and validation in “real-world” settings. Any successful idea or innovation emerging from the creative Design Thinking process will undergo critical appraisal and thorough scientific peer-review. The user- experience will be our guide throughout.
