Clinical research in Switzerland is growing in scale, complexity, and impact.

Here’s what we achieved together with our Network in 2025:

• 2’000+ clinical research projects supported
• 9’400 professionals trained
• 350+ international multicentre studies facilitated

In 2026, three priorities will guide us:

• Innovation: Scaling AI and Decentralised Clinical Trials
• Integration: Building a unified digital environment
• Regulation: Engaging constructively to influence the regulatory landscape

Through it all, one conviction remains at the heart of everything we do: Clinical research must be built with and for patients.
