We are delighted to invite you to this year's Clinical Trials Symposium. The symposium is dedicated to current topics relating to clinical trials. You can look forward to exciting presentations by Swissmedic employees who are very familiar with the challenges in this area, highlight trends and provide insights into future developments.
In the afternoon, we will dive deeper into specific topics in four different workshops. Each workshop will last 90 minutes and will take place in parallel. You have the opportunity to take part in two workshops of your choice.
You have the opportunity to ask questions before the symposium. If possible, we will answer them in the Question and Answer session.
Interested? Then please register using the registration form. The registration deadline is 1 October 2025.
