F-CRIN is the prime contact for ECRIN, the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network, whose goal is to promote and facilitate multinational clinical studies on a European scale.

Setup within the framework of the “Investment for the Future Programmes” call for projects, F-CRIN, the French National Research Infrastructure Network, performs its activity within the scope of AVIESAN, the French National Alliance for Life Sciences and Health. These activities comprises:

• identifying, approving, supporting, (including financially) and coordinating thematic networks of excellence and high-performance clinical research service platforms in France,

• developing skills and operational know-how in clinical research at the service of the “Sponsor / Investigator” duo,

• boosting collective dynamics between the French clinical research players and sponsors.

A label of quality and excellence;a driving force to improve the performance of French clinical research

F-CRIN

The “Training Course Advisor (TCA)” is an unequalled interactive platform providing information on clinical research training courses. It provides a comprehensive panorama of the training and educational activities for professionals and future professionals in the field by referencing the various actors involved. It allows you to leave an online assessment of the content and contributors of the referenced training courses and to define your training needs if they are not met by the coming sessions present on the platform.
