This seminar session will provide an overview of the SPHN Federated Clinical Routine Dataset, a remarkable resource designed to give healthcare researchers access to vast amounts of patient data for further use research according to HRO chapter 3.

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) will soon launch the 12th call of its Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trials (IICT) programme. The programme supports clinical trials on under-researched topics that address both medical and societal needs. A core requirement of the IICT programme is the meaningful involvement of patients and the public (Patient and Public Involvement, PPI). Applicants must clearly describe how PPI is integrated into their project in both the Letter of Intent (LOI) and the full application.

We are starting the year with exciting news: The Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation (SCTO) has launched its new website, featuring a refreshed logo and a modern visual identity.
