Mapping National Initiatives to Boost Clinical Trials Across Europe
Webinar Date & Time
8 July from 04:00 PM to 05:30 PM (CEST)
The webinar is for free.
Webinar Overview
Join us for the launch of IMPACT – a major new initiative from EUCROF designed to reinvigorate the clinical trial landscape in Europe.
With Europe experiencing a concerning decline in clinical trials and fewer patients gaining access, EUCROF is stepping up. Launched in December, the IMPACT initiative maps and shares country-level actions aimed at improving trial conditions—and reversing the trend.
In this exclusive webinar, we’ll highlight efforts from leading countries including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, and Denmark. Learn how each nation is working to strengthen its environment for clinical research—and how, together, we can position Europe as a global hub for innovative, patient-centred clinical trials.
Why attend?
- Be part of a collective effort to promote Europe as a top destination for clinical research
- Get a first look at the IMPACT initiative’s findings
- Discover practical strategies already in motion across Europe
- Engage in discussion with thought leaders and stakeholders
