EDCTP Regional Networks of Excellence
The EDCTP Regional Networks of Excellence facilitate regional collaboration by uniting diverse institutions that bring their individual strengths in skills based competencies and shared infrastructures for conducting clinical trials in areas such as GCP, GCLP, data management, laboratory techniques and epidemiology, to the network in the context of ongoing clinical research work.
