Working Groups

EUCROF encourages the initiatives of its Members to form Working Groups (WGs), which represent an open area of discussion on specific areas of interest for Members. Any (Associate) Member can contribute to the WGs by nominating a representative. The WGs meet regularly through TCs and/or face to face meetings. In accordance to the focus of each WG, they are intended to become counterpart/stakeholders for Regulatory Authorities, Industry, Academia and Patients' Associations, write papers in Scientific Journals, actively participate to Congresses/Conferences, thus representing the position and the interests of EUCROF.

The EUCROF Clinical Trials Legislation Working Group (CTL WG) is aimed to represent European CROs when input is sought from stakeholders by legislators (e.g., EMA, EU Commission) or international organisations (e.g., ICH, WHO) in the context of new provisions for clinical trials. It is crucial that CROs provide their perspectives and opinions as more than 60% of clinical trials are handled by CROs. The delegation of sponsor duties and functions to CROs is important to be taken into account when legal regulations and guidance documents are developed. EUCROF does not miss this chance and continuously participates in the consultation rounds offered by legislators and/or international organisations.

The CTL WG is in operation since more than a decade and has given input to numerous documents with latest activities on the “Management of Clinical Trials under COVID-19 Pandemic”.

It is our mission to effectively use the voice we have through the European CRO Federation.

We are looking forward to continue our active involvement in the development of Clinical Trials documents.
