The Clinical Trial Units Network

There are six centers for clinical research – so-called Clinical Trial Units (CTUs) – in Switzerland supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and located in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, St. Gallen and Zurich.

The SCTO was assigned the task to enhance and coordinate the cooperation between the centers.

Continuing Education

Stringent legal, scientific and ethical requirements apply for the planning, implementation and evaluation of clinical trials. The success of clinical research essentially depends on specialists and their competencies. Therefore, we promote a high standard in continuing education at the various CTUs in Switzerland.
