Find out about the Competition outside the Americas

The European Clinical Researcher of the Year competition celebrates clinical research excellence amongst clinical research professionals throughout Europe. The competition is based on the common platform of ICH/GCP.

Established in 1999, the competition is managed by a cross-industry steering committee of senior clinical directors from top pharma companies. Their role is to ensure the Competition accurately reflects the clinical research environment and that it measures the right attributes.

Unlike other competitions for clinical researchers, this is not based on work done in the past, but on individual and team competencies displayed during the competition.

The European competition caters for many of the main functional areas within clinical research and in addition, there is a category to recognize the work done by staff at the Investigator Sites. Categories include, Study Site Team, CTA, CRA, Project Manager, Line Manager and Clinical Research Team.

The winners are announced at the Pharma Awards ceremony when the presentation of the Pharma Award is made in front of a large pharma audience.

Each year's winners join an exclusive alumni of past winners and like them, share the knowledge they have been recognized by their industry peers.

All participants are recognized by the steering committee as individuals who are demonstrating an interest in their personal development, committed to furthering their talents and abilities as clinical researchers at the forefront of delivering improved medicines to patients.
