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.
Sometimes, one part of an organisation takes out an eCF membership ... but other departments that could also benefit are not aware that they too could have free access to the eCF online offerings, project teams, webinars, etc. This set of slides gives an overview of the many eCF benefits available to ANYONE from a member company. Slides are current as of Dec '23. For more information, please contact your facilitator (EU: wolfgang.summa@eclinicalforum.org, NA: suzanne.bishop@eclinicalforum.org, AP: sean.higashio@eclinicalforum.org.)
The eCF Technology Showcases allow our vendor members to open dialogue with our members about their products and services. While the eCF is "non-commercial" and we do not promote any particular technology solutions, our members have asked to see what their eCF colleagues are working on. These are one-hour webinars and can be set up anytime. Please download the information below, and then contact Suzanne Bishop for more information or to get started setting one up! (suzanne.bishop@eclinicalforum.org)
As we are not-for-profit, and keep our budget very tight, we rely on eCF member companies to host our in-person workshops. The host can help set the agenda topics and have additional seats ... as well as avoiding travel costs for those participating who are local to their site. Please read our "Hosting Considterations" document (download below) and we are happy to have an informal conversation with you to answer any questions! Wolfgang Summa (EU workshops... wolfgang.summa@eclinicalforum.org), Suzanne Bishop (US workshops...suzanne.bishop@eclinicalforum.org), Sean Higashio (Asia workshops...sean.higashio@eclinicalforum.org). Thanks for considering!!
The eClinical Forum REG Team has completed a significant update to the Members-Only 2023 release of the eCF Requirements for Electronic Data for Regulated Clinical Trials (commonly referred to as the “eCF Requirements”). This updated release incorporates extensive review and mapping of the EMA Guideline for Computerised Systems and Electronic Data in Clinical Research. This document is invaluable in determining if electronic records and systems are appropriate for use in regulated clinical trials.
After 23 years, Richard Perkins, our founder and chairman is retiring from eClinical Forum. We are so grateful for all of Richard’s guidance over the years, growing the eCF from a workshop with 13 participants in Nov 1999 to now a global organization with over 2300 active participants from 50 member companies (most member companies participating from several regions around the globe) and 10 global project teams. Richard will remain as a behind-the-scenes consultant during a transition period for the rest of 2023.
We had great fun toasting Richard and telling stories at both Blue Bell and Darmstadt workshops. Thanks you Richard for all you have done for us!! We will certainly miss you!!

2024 Members Release of the "Requirements for Electronic Data for Regulated Clinical Trials" (commonly referred to as the “eCF Requirements”)
The "eCF Requirements" Members Release V2024 has been released. This is a significant accomplishment by the eClinical Forum’s “Regulatory Expert Group” (REG) as they have put in countless hours over many years to be able to produce such a comprehensive list of compliance requirements for electronic systems that will manage data used in regulated clinical research, against regulations and guidances from 40 different documents from FDA, EMA, PMDA, NMPA, MHRA and ICH and ISO.
Public release of the "Requirements for Electronic Data for Regulated Clinical Trials" (commonly referred to as the “eCF Requirements”)
The eClinical Forum is releasing its 7th public version of the “eCF Requirements” which takes all of the requirements and guidance directions that pertain to electronic data and electronic systems that support clinical research, from FDA, EMA, PMDA, MNPA, MHRA and ICH , and boils them down into 37 unique statements or "eCF Requirements".
