The CAMbrella project was a pan-European research and coordination project to map the supply and demand side of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and to plan further research strategy.[1][2][3]. The acronym "CAMbrella" stands for an umbrella project of complementary and alternative medicine (umbrella of Complementary and Alternative Medicine).[4] The goal of this collaboration project was to look into the present situation of CAM in Europe in all its relevant aspects and to create a sustained network of researchers in the field that can assist and carry through scientific endeavours in the future.[1] The project period was 1.1.2010 to 31.12.2012. The budget was 1.667.439,80€, the EU contribution to it 1.498.597€. The project took place in the 7th Framework Programme of the EU (FP7). It was developed by a consortium of 12 international CAM centers[5] or 16 academic research groups from 12 European countries.[6] It was coordinated by the Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Technical University of Munich.[3]

Objectives[1]

  • To develop a consensus-based terminology widely accepted in Europe to describe CAM interventions
  • To create a knowledge base that facilitates our understanding of patient demand for CAM and its prevalence
  • To review the current legal status and policies governing CAM provision in the EU
  • To explore the needs and attitudes of EU citizens with respect to CAM
  • To develop an EU network involving centres of research excellence for collaborative research
