The Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation (SCTO) is the central cooperation platform for patient-oriented, clinical research in Switzerland. Its primary objective is to attractively and competitively position Swiss clinical research in the international competition with respect to innovation and quality. The SCTO intends to achieve this mandate by:
    • Promoting a high-quality and nationally harmonized study culture – including the continuing education necessary for this purpose
    • Supporting the formation of a national network
    • Boosting integration of national clinical research into international networks
    • Building bridges between academia, industry and public authorities
Moreover, the SCTO generally advocates favorable framework conditions in the field of clinical research, and assumes coordinating functions with regard to multi-center studies and intermediation of studies.
