Events & Workshops

We would like to bring together all stakeholders for an inspiring afternoon to stimulate collaboration and find new and innovative ways to improve patient recruitment in clinical trials. If you are involved in recruiting study patients, this seminar is a must for you and gives you the opportunity to connect with relevant stakeholders.

  • Instructions for validation of parking ticket:

To park at level – 6 at the Q-Park near “Midi Station”, take a ticket at the entrance of the car park and go down to level – 4.
Insert then your ticket at the barrier and drive further down until level – 6. The validation of your ticket is only accepted if you parked your car at level – 6.
