International Clinical Trials Day (ICTD) 2022

Recruitment in Clinical Trials

Opening ICTD 2022 Berlin Together with the German scientific partner KKS Netzwerk, ECRIN hosted ICTD 2022 as a hybrid event live broadcasted from Berlin, Germany. ICTD 2022 built on the intentions of ICTD 2020, which was cancelled due to the pandemic. It brought together stakeholders from across Europe and the globe to discuss the challenges and opportunities related to recruitment in clinical trials.

ICTD 2022 took place on 17 May 2022 in the Langenback-Virchow Haus in Berlin, and was simultaneously online broadcasted.
