Conect4children (c4c) invites you to apply for membership of a Methodology Expert Group in your area of paediatric drug research.
c4c is an EU funded pan-European consortium with a general aim of facilitating the development and availability of new medicines for babies, children and young people through the creation of a large collaborative paediatric network. One task of the consortium is to deliver the advice needed to improve child health and paediatric medicine development.
Groups of experts (methodological, clinical, and parents/patients) will be set up to provide Strategic Feasibility advice to individual requests from pharmaceutical industry and academic consortia in conducting feasible,
innovative and scientifically sound paediatric clinical trials. Therefore, we are now seeking experts interested to be part of Methodology Expert Groups and provide advice. This call is for methodology experts. For clinical experts, in paediatric subspecialties, a separate call is being launched.
