Purpose To promote understanding of the work of Reading Centres in Europe in order to allow for greater collaboration both between existing reading centres and reading centres and clinical investigators. Methods During the 90 minutes session, the members of the European Reading Centre Network will introduce their work. Detailed discussion will take place on how reading centres currently contribute to different studies. These will cover anterior and posterior segment images and their grading protocols in general and then will continue with detailed analysis plan of these. Results The results of this session will be that better and more detailed understanding of the needs of the studies and what the Reading Centres can and cannot provide. These will lead to better communication from the start of the study in order to satisfy grading and reporting criteria of the studies. Conclusion In conclusion, the Reading Centre network will present its work and will invite collaboration from the attendees of the session with the view of developing this unique collaboration further.
