WHO WE ARE
The eClinical Forum is a global network of peers. It provides a non‐competitive environment for innovation, learning and collaboration in clinical research.
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for our next European Workshop at the Crowne Plaza Brussels Airport, Brussels on 17-19 May 2022. This hybrid workshop is available for face-to-face or remote participation.
Version 2022 (31-March-2022)
This is the ONE FILE that you need to perform an eSRA Assessment.
We are pleased to announce the details of our next Virtual Global Workshop on 19-28 October 2021. The virtual workshop will include presentation, discussion and working sessions and is open to participants from any member company in any region.
Our virtual workshops have been a great success and this one will be even better! The sessions have been optimised to accommodate our members from around the world by spreading the meeting over 6 days (19-21 October and 26-28 October), limiting the duration of each meeting day to 2 hours and by offering 2 sessions a day (at 8:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC). Learning from each other is what we do best, and the workshop will provide opportunity for collaboration and exchange through breakout groups to contribute to the work of the eClinical Forum, round table discussions on hot topics and time for Q&A. Of course, nothing can replace the networking and camaraderie of a face-to-face eCF meeting, but we will come close! REGISTER HERE
The EUCROF and eClinical Forum Electronic Informed Consent (eConsent) Joint Task Force are pleased to announce the publication of the eConsent Implementation Guide (version 1). The joint task force was formed in 2019 with a view to look at some of the barriers to adoption of eConsent considering the benefits to stakeholders.
eConsent offers remote electronic options for informing and consenting trial participants of a clinical trial, this being a particularly useful capability especially during the pandemic period when site visits are reduced.
We are pleased to announce the details of our next Virtual Global Workshop on 4-18 May 2021. The virtual workshop will include presentation, discussion and working sessions and is open to participants from any member company in any region.
Our virtual workshops in 2020 were a great success and this one will be even better! We have made sure that sessions are as convenient as possible for the different timezones across the world by limiting the duration of sessions and offering more regional sessions. Learning from each other is what we do best and we will be introducing a number of ways to increase interactivity during the workshop (although nothing can replace the networking and comeraderie of an eCF face-to-face meeting!).

The eClinical Forum is a peer networking group run by its members for its members. Our newsletter provides important information and facts about the eClinical Forum. Read about the philosophy and objectives of the group, the eCF community and the work it has done, the teams that are active and what our members say. There is nothing quite like the eClinical Forum.
We have recently learnt that fraudulent Emails have been sent out with eclinicalforum.org addresses. The security issue has now been fixed, however, please be vigilant if you have received Emails during April and May purportedly from the eClinical Forum if they are asking for payment or personal information.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at webmaster3@eclinicalforum.org if you have any questions or concerns.
The Virtual Workshop on May 11-13 that replaced the planned face-to-face Spring Workshops in Helsinki, Finland and Princeton, NJ was a huge success. It was attended by over 130 members from around the globe, representing 46 member companies -- many of whom would not have been able to attend a face-to-face meeting and this was their first eCF workshop. 4 EMA inspectors and several guests also attended. Evaluations gave the workshop a 4.3/5.0 which is lower than our face-to-face workshops, but for our first virtual workshop we are happy with this grade! A few comments from the evaluations: "Always an excellent group with many real experts. The interactions are very good." "Congratulations on an excellent event. Everything worked well. Sure, we missed the networking and evening events, but this worked well." "eClinical Forum is a fantastic source of information about the landscape of eClinical today." "eCF continues to be incredible value for money"
We are planning for another Virtual Workshop in Autumn 2020 (the week of October 12-16) and hoping to return to face-to-face workshops for Spring 2021. We now have a lot of good ideas for improvements for our 2nd Virtual Workshop! If anyone wants to make suggestions, please send to info@eclinicalforum.org. Thanks!!

eCF BoF Webinar: Principal Investigator's Signature: Best Practices
The eCF’s PI Signature Working Group have updated their 3-year-old document which is released to eCF Members in early April. They will introduce the 2022 changes to the best practice document for Investigator’s signature on electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs). Participants are encouraged to share their thoughts on:
- how to provide continuous monitoring of regulatory expectations;
- sharing members’ experience on implementation and regulatory findings (if any);
- brainstorming for an industry definition of the “meaning” of signature on data reported to sponsors during both traditional and non-traditional clinical trials.
Presenters: eCF PI Signature Team Leaders: Cinzia Piccinia (Eli Lilly) and Babette von Hagen (CSL Behring)
