Conference presentation. Over the recent decades, the influence of corporate interests – most notably from the cigarette, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries – on public health has attracted growing concerns and public attention. Within this context, one notion, that of ‘conflict of interest’ (CoI), has become widespread and used as the main lens through which this influence and its problematic consequences on the construction of scientific knowledge, on the decisions taken by public authorities, and on heath practices is approached. The MEDICI research project has, over the last three years, explored how conflict of interest has been understood and used in the field of medicine with what kinds of responses. It has also aimed at understanding the effects of this problematization on the ways in which the various actors involved in the sector perform an organize their activities. This final conference will gather presentations laying out the main results of the MEDICI project as well as invited talks from leading scholars studying corporate influence on science and regulation.
