Today, Hcéres, as coordinating member of the European Research Infrastructure Evaluation Consortium (ERIEC), has published its first report of the evaluation of a European Research Infrastructure, namely Ecrin-Eric (European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network).

Ecrin-Eric is a European clinical research network working for the development and implementation of multinational trials . At the request of this European network which is subject to statutory evaluation, the Eriec Consortium, has commissioned Hcéres, to carry out the expertise.

In concluding its analysis, based on highlighted strengths and attentions, the experts’ committee has made some recommendations as:

  • To an opening to new research items,
  • To cooperation with other European research infrastructures,
  • To alternative funding opportunities,
  • To management and analysis of big data.
