Swiss clinical Trials Empirical Assessment & Methods (STEAM)

We make clinical research leaner and meaner.

The SCTO supports the Swiss clinical Trials Empirical Assessment & Methods (STEAM) working group, which aims to increase the overall value of clinical research in Switzerland. The working group collects challenges encountered in clinical studies and incorporates the findings of research on research (RoR), e.g. tools and guidelines, into:

  • teaching and training for Swiss clinical researchers
  • CTU services (e.g. consulting, monitoring, data management, and statistics) for clinical researchers.

In addition, the STEAM working group links Swiss RoR efforts with international initiatives. STEAM members helped organise the SCTO Forum on the topic of “Research on research: From starting blocks to finishing line” in January 2020.
