Many global trials are still challenged by disconnected systems, varying standards, and complex operational setups that limit efficiency and slow down execution.
As clinical research expands across borders, the need for structured and truly collaborative partnerships is becoming critical. On March 26 at 12:00 CET, ACROSS Global Alliance invites you to join the webinar “Beyond networks: Rethinking global collaboration in clinical research”, focused on redefining how international collaboration should function in today’s clinical landscape.
This session will explore how modern alliances can move beyond traditional Contract Research Organizations (CRO) network models and evolve into integrated ecosystems that enable better coordination, stronger alignment, and more consistent trial delivery worldwide.
Speakers:
Steven Bukvic – Managing Director, ACROSS Global Alliance
Nenad Markovic – ACROSS Global Alliance Manager
And the ACROSS Alliance members:
· Georges Labaki, Chief Executive Officer at Phoenix CRO and Co-founder at Balsam Clinical Research
· Kalman Torocsik, President of the Board at Research Professionals CRO, Contract Research Management
