Description of the organisation
Since its creation in 2004, ECRIN has been striving to overcome the challenges to multinational trials in Europe.
ECRIN focuses on multinational academic research as well as trials initiated by biotech and medical device small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It provides support to sponsors in investigator-initiated trials and helps them navigate Europe’s fragmented health and legal systems. Multi-country trials means greater access to patients, resources, and expertise, and, in turn, faster and potentially more robust results.
