European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) forum 2027
05/04/2027 - 09/04/2027
Global Health European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership 3 (Global Health EDCTP3) is a unique European and African partnership working to improve health through research and development. Backed by the European Union and over 45 countries, we focus on infectious diseases that continue to harm millions across sub-Saharan Africa.
We fund clinical trials and studies, train researchers, and strengthen the African clinical research ecosystem, ensuring that solutions are developed where they are most needed and global health security is increased.
The Global Health EDCTP3 is co-governed by two equal partners:
- The European Union, represented by the European Commission;
- The EDCTP Association, representing European and African countries.
The main programme will run over five days, from 5-9 April 2027, and is expected to include:
- Plenary sessions with keynote addresses delivered by leading international scientists and policymakers.
- Parallel sessions consisting of abstract-driven oral presentations organised according to thematic areas linked to the Forum theme.
- Scientific symposia organised by groups of researchers or organisations on topics related to the Forum theme.
- Prize-giving ceremonies awarding the winners of the EDCTP Prizes competition.
- A poster exhibition drawing from the abstract submitted.
- Sponsored satellite sessions and workshops.
- Countless networking opportunities such as the ‘Meet the experts’ and one-to-one meetings.
- Field visits to research centres in and around Madrid.
