The writing of the postion paper in a group of nine people was well feasible, but time consuming (approx. 6 months).
We formed the "Alliance for Transparency in Health Research" with partners mentionned above and published a position paper on clinical trial transparency in Germany. Upon publication we participated in a press briefing of the Science Media Center Germany. Afterwards the national media covered the topic nicely.
