Working party 1 on Ethics
Chairs Xavier Carné, Frank Wells
• National differences in the assessment of clinical
research protocols by ethics committees
• SOPs on:
- Informed consent sheet
- Interaction with the ethics committees
- Personal data protection

system for clinical trials on medicinal products and
for other categories of clinical research
• Both pre-registration trials and post-marketing
studies
• SOP on adverse event reporting under these various
conditions
Working party 4 on Data Management
Chair Christian Ohmann

studies
• SOPs on:
- Risk assessment

delegation contracts between sponsors and ECRIN
in the support to multinational clinical research
projects
• Reviews the SOP drafts produced by the other WPs,
ensuring both consistency and comprehensiveness
of the set of SOPs
Working party 8 on Education
Chair Pierre Lafolie
Teaching programme on the conduct of multinational
clinical research for the ECRIN staff, targeting first
the European correspondents through a train-thetrainer session during the summer school, then the
staff of the national networks
PPI 2008-2011
