[Inter-university cooperation in Flanders--an academic point of view on peer review].
Peer review as a possibility for discussion among practising dentists was introduced in Belgium in 1998 in the framework of a quality ensuring program. The 'Interuniversitary Cooperation', an initiative of Flemish universities active in teaching, research and patient treatment in dentistry has been involved in this program since its beginning to set up a dialogue between academia and dental practitioners and to gather information on scientific and educational matters. In this article the principles and organisation are described and thought is given to the attitude of the participants and future possibilities.
