EU-funded R&D project
Harmonising clinical trials in children across Europe
The conect4children (collaborative network for European clinical trials for children (c4c)) consortium aims to enhance the competitiveness of Europe, as a critical region for developing medicines for children. This project has received funding from the Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking. The Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and EFPIA.
i~HD plays an advisory role as a third party in this IMI project, providing expertise in semantic interoperability and the development of a standardised paediatric data dictionary.
