We are happy to announce that our successful series of scientific online seminars continues. On July 30th, 2024 at 6 PM CEST we will air our next complimentary live online seminar. The session is presented by Profil's Director Clinical Pharmacology Dr. Grit Andersen:
Online Seminar synopsis
Join us for an engaging live online seminar on the "Initiative Studienstandort Deutschland", a joint initiative launched in November 2023 following a pivotal study by vfa and Kearney. This initiative aims to address the critical need for substantial improvements in Germany as a prime location for research and development. A recent analysis by the vfa highlighted a worrying decline in industry-sponsored pharmaceutical research, with Germany initiating only 524 new studies in 2022, well behind Spain's 628 studies in the same year. This is in stark contrast to the nearly 700 studies in which Germany participated in 2015.
Our live online seminar session will introduce you some of the organisations and institutions involved in this initiative, all of which are dedicated to improving the framework for clinical research in Germany. We will explore the key activities and discussions around optimising the conduct of clinical trials, as well as the initiative's active role in shaping policy, such as the new Medical Research Act.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the goals of the initiative, share their ideas and make suggestions to strengthen Germany's position as a leading trial location. This seminar is a unique platform for stakeholders to collaborate and drive the future of clinical research in Germany.
Join us to explore how the Initiative Studienstandort Deutschland is driving pivotal changes to revitalize Germany's role in clinical research. Your insights and ideas are crucial in shaping a stronger, more competitive landscape for pharmaceutical studies in Germany.
