4th International Conference

We! are Clinical Research

About Conference

We would like to invite you to participate in the 4th International Conference "Clinical Research is WE!", organized by Kozminski University. The conference will be held on October 10-11, 2024, stationary at the premises of the Academy in Warsaw. This year again, as in previous years, we will focus on the latest challenges and innovations in clinical research.

One of the main topics will be the update of the GCP ICH E6 (R3) guidelines, which introduce a number of new principles regarding quality management and decentralization of clinical trials. These changes are designed to improve the flexibility and efficiency of research while ensuring the highest ethical and scientific standards.

During the conference, we will also discuss patient recruitment for clinical trials, modern technologies to support research processes and project management in clinical trials. In addition, for the second time, the program will feature presentations of the best theses of PiMBK students, who will present the distinguished student projects of 2024.

The conference will be a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience with international experts who will share their practical experience and present the latest technological developments in clinical research. You can't miss it!

 

See you in October!

Organizers

"We! are Clinical Research" - each of us creates them, each of us participates in them, each of us is part of them! It is the patient and the chance for the most effective and safest therapies that are the goal of conducting clinical trials and registering new molecules. The basis for success is knowledge experience and exchange of experience. At Kozminski University, majors related to health care and clinical research are developing rapidly (see here: https://www.kozminski.edu.pl/pl/zdrowie).

We focus on healthcare management, clinical research management and monitoring - we have already completed more than 30 editions - as well as highly specialized and cutting-edge courses such as MBA health, project management in clinical research, market for medical devices and technologies or health manager of the future. Thanks to the cooperation of many specialists and practitioners in the field of clinical research and health, as well as an active group of ALK graduates, we create an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date knowledge and experience. We direct educational and promotional activities to everyone interested in health, clinical research and modern solutions in health care. Through educational and promotional activities such as the International Clinical Research To Us Conferences, we influence the internationalization of relations and the development of cooperation. The goal of our movement is the substantive and personal development of each person associated with clinical research, the exchange of experiences and dissemination of medical knowledge to the widest possible audience, as well as inspiring networking and promotion of cooperation between professionals in health care and clinical research
