SCTO Symposium 2024

11 June 2024, Lausanne

Working towards efficient clinical data-driven research in Switzerland

This year’s SCTO Symposium is dedicated to the topic «Working towards efficient clinical data-driven research in Switzerland» and will take place in Lausanne on Tuesday, 11 June. 

The volume and complexity of data generated in clinical research have increased considerably due to several factors. The ways in which clinical trial data are generated, managed, and shared (data ‘’flows’’ in a clinical trial) have all become increasingly important for achieving efficient outcomes in both national and multinational trial settings.

Join us at the SCTO Symposium to navigate challenges faced by clinical researchers, the SCTO’s clinical trial units (CTUs), data centres, and biobanks in this current environment. We will address a range of related topics – including regulatory considerations, IT and infrastructure requirements, data governance, data sharing.

The symposium is being organised by the SCTO and the Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Lausanne. It will take place in English.
