All Medical Practice Based on Scientific Evidence
ECRIN's vision is to generate scientific evidence to optimise medical practice. To achieve this vision, ECRIN supports the conduct of multinational clinical research in Europe. By managing and supporting clinical trials across borders, connecting networks, and advising and implementing policy, ECRIN advances knowledge flow, competitiveness and integration in European clinical research.
Need for Independent Clinical Research
Without excluding industry-sponsored studies, ECRIN focuses its work on the conduct of independent trials, across all disease and topic areas. These trials provide unbiased assessment of preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that might not otherwise be investigated. Focus areas include:
- Development of innovative health products
- Exploration of new indications for authorised health products
- Comparative assessment of efficacy and safety of approved healthcare strategies
