About us

We are a nationwide network of interconnected platforms that provides innovative tools and dynamic approaches for clinical research professionals.

Each tool on this website was developed by one or more of the SCTO’s topic-based platforms consisting of experts from across Switzerland in key fields of clinical research. The SCTO and its SCTO Platforms facilitate the exchange of knowledge, resources, and best practices to ensure that clinical research is driven by excellence and not limited by the capacities of individual organisations or institutions.

Our platform members are located in clinical trial units at university and cantonal hospitals across Switzerland and the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK). The collaboration within and between our platforms enables them to be incubators of innovation, to provide leadership in academic clinical research in Switzerland and share resources with the clinical research community worldwide. 

About the SCTO 

The Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation (SCTO) is a research infrastructure of national importance funded by the State Secretariat of Education, Research and Innovation and the Swiss National Science Foundation. More than 250 people work in the CTU Network, which has successfully been offering services to facilitate the smooth conduct of clinical study projects since 2009. Each CTU coordinates one of the SCTO Platforms and the SCTO liaises with and between these individual platforms and supports them in their activities.
