 International Clinical Trials' Day May 20, 2008 |
ECRIN has launched in 2005 a yearly communication event, International Clinical Trials' Day, whose objective is to allow debates between representatives of European patients associations, clinical scientists, scientific agencies, industry sponsors, ethics committees, competent authorities, trials registries, medical journal editors, the EU Commission, and news media in order to improve the patients' and public awareness on the challenges raised by clinical research.
Each year, the International Clinical Trials' Day is celebrated around the world on or near the 20th of May in order to celebrate the day that James Lind started his famous trial on the 20th of May 1747

The American Association for Cancer Research has developed the Cancer
Biostatistics Workshop - an intensive, week-long program - to provide
essential background information in state-of-the-art cancer biology,
translational and clinical cancer research, new statistical techniques
arising from biological discoveries, novel translational study designs
for targeted therapies, and rigorous study design and analysis methods
to junior and mid-level biostatisticians.
Acceptance into the workshop will be on a competitive basis through an online application process that will open in December 2007 and close
on March 2, 2008. All successful junior faculty applicants will receive financial assistance to attend.
