International multicentre HRO projects: Some kind of challenge

This seminar session will address the management of international multicenter HRO projects. In addition to the regulatory and legal pre-requisites of such projects, which can strongly vary even between European countries, experiences from the planning and conduct of a large international observational study will be presented. Furthermore, an overview on support and advice opportunities for researchers in Switzerland pursuing such projects will be provided.

This seminar session is part of a lunch seminar series, which offers brief overviews and room for questions on important topics related to observational studies (HRO projects).
