WHO and The Global Health Network invite you to a global event where experts will present the WHO’s New Clinical Trials Guidance’s key aspects and learn how it can help support and strengthen your research.


In September 2024, WHO published its groundbreaking guidance on best practices for clinical trials - establishing, for the first time, a global framework applicable to the design and conduct of all clinical trials, with insights relevant to observational studies as well.

Join WHO’s Chief Scientist, Jeremy Farrar as he presents this milestone in clinical research, followed by a detailed overview from WHO's Research for Health Senior Advisor, Vasee Moorthy. This session will highlight key aspects of the guidance, including embedding research within health systems, fostering diverse, active clinical research networks, and prioritizing community interaction across the trial lifecycle.

The objectives of this webinar are as followed:

  • To understand how WHO can enable your work in clinical research
  • To outline how stakeholders can use the guidance to advance patient-centered clinical research
  • To discuss how implementation could lead to more enabling, more efficient clinical research ecosystems
  • To raise awareness of a forthcoming Global Action Plan on Clinical Trial Ecosystem Strengthening
  • To catalyse discussions on what stakeholder groups can do to take forward actions aligned with their strategies.

This event will empower participants to leverage WHO’s guidance to simplify clinical research, foster inclusivity, and improve trial approval processes. A live Q&A will provide opportunities to engage directly with WHO experts.

The webinar will take place on 13 December 2024 at 14:00 CET. Live translation will be available in French and Spanish. You can join the event on Zoom or watch the livestream on YouTube.
