The Embassy of Good Science is a wiki platform developed in the EnTIRE project, which was granted in the EU Horizon 2020 programme four years ago. We will present the platform and its relevance for Research Integrity in Europe and beyond during the final conference of the project, which will be held online on October 25th and 26th, 2021.

The Embassy of Good Science is a wiki platform developed in the EnTIRE project, which was granted in the EU Horizon 2020 programme four years ago. We will present the platform and its relevance for Research Integrity in Europe and beyond during the final conference of the project, which will be held online on October 25th and 26th, 2021. The conference will give due attention to new evolutions on major RI topics on the platform, including guidelines, cases, and training. We will showcase how the platform can be used to improve research integrity by different stakeholder groups through panel sessions on research integrity and ethics. We will also describe how we, as a consortium, will hand the platform over to the scientific community and go into the pivotal role which The Embassy is expected to play in making available results of EU projects in the future.

Europe’s Leading Event Dedicated To Streamlining Clinical Trials and Improving Patient Outcomes. Put Yourself At The Forefront Of Clinical Research, Cutting Edge Science And Groundbreaking Therapeutic Development. Stay ahead with pioneering insights on COVID-19, decentralized clinical trials, patient recruitment and engagement strategies, real world evidence, the Clinical Trials Regulation, digital health and beyond.

This workshop aims to give participants the practical skills required to upload the summary results of clinical trials onto the European trial registry EudraCT. During the two hour workshop, participants will:
> Gain an overview of where to find help and support
> Learn how to monitor and improve their institution’s performance on the EU Trials Tracker
> Get step-by-step guidance on how to upload trial results onto EudraCT
> Have the opportunity to discuss problems and solutions with colleagues

Participation for this event is free, but on invitation only.

This unique and free networking opportunity allows you to interact with field experts from academia and GSK. We aim to stimulate the exchange of views on the latest advances in vaccine science and immunology in a friendly and inspiring environment.

This event is supported by BioWin, flanders.bio and Flanders Vaccine.

In a fast-changing regulatory environment, the Conference is mainly aimed at opening the discussion with all relevant stakeholders on the challenging topic of research in paediatric and rare diseases and answer the way that all the participants can contribute to high quality paediatric and RD research, aimed at the development of accessible, available and affordable therapies for paediatric and rare diseases.

The VIRT2UE train the trainer programme, developed as part of the H2020 funded VIRT2UE project, provides trainers with the knowledge and skills to conduct a research integrity course from a virtue ethics perspective. Over 400 trainers across Europe who have participated in the blended learning programme have learnt how to stimulate researchers to reflect on the relevance of virtues for research practice, and to develop moral character. The final conference of the VIRT2UE project highlights the development of the programme, the implementation across Europe and beyond, the experiences of trainees and researchers, and discusses the future of the approach. We hope you will join us to learn more about VIRT2UE and how you can benefit from the programme in your own institution or research practice.

FAMHP organises two information sessions to provide all sponsors and applicants for clinical trials with as much information as possible about the new Regulation.

The first information session will take place virtually on 23 September 2021. During this session, an update will be given on the different aspects of the CTR implementation in Belgium and on the current status of the CTR pilot project.

A second information session will be organised on 25 November 2021 with the aim of sharing a more practical and national demo. The demo strongly depends on the availability of the “sandbox”, an isolated virtual environment where CTIS can be tested without disrupting its further operation and development.

EMA is organising a webinar to inform small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and academic sponsors of clinical trials on how to prepare for the main changes brought by the Regulation and its impact on their trial-related activities.

Topics presented during the webinar include:
> an overview of the Clinical Trials Regulation
> an introduction to the new process for submitting clinical trial information in the European Union/European Economic Area
> functionalities of CTIS, including transparency aspects and safety reporting requirements
> guidance and training material available for sponsors
