Clinical Trial Administrator - Ecraid

The European Clinical Research Alliance for Infectious Diseases (Ecraid) is an operational clinical research organization dedicated to performing high-quality clinical research around infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Ecraid’s focus is on two main areas: firstly, setting up and performing clinical trials, and secondly, developing and maintaining a large international hospital and primary care network.

The international clinical trials in our portfolio vary from observational cohort studies to complex adaptive platform trials. Most of them are investigator-initiated and publicly funded, but we also perform industry-initiated trials. Ecraid is dedicated to conducting clinical research that is embedded in medical practice and that focuses on patient needs.
