The PT ISCIII IC - SCReN Platform is established as the national partner of the European Network in Spain through a framework agreement. Through this partnership, the Clinical Research Units (UICs, CTUs, or Clinical Trial Units) of SCReN are integrated as clinical research nodes within ECRIN-ERIC.

How does the PT ISCIII IC - SCReN articulate with ECRIN-ERIC?

In a general sense, collaboration is based on the cooperation of the National Network Coordination structure (Scientific Partner) and the European correspondent (EuCo, European Correspondent), who acts as ECRIN's representative in implementing the work of the European Network in each country.

In Spain, the Internationalization Working Group (GdT) is the body responsible for coordinating the National Network-EuCo. It integrates the Coordination Unit (Coordinating Centre of the Scientific Partner), the EuCo, and the node that hosts the EuCo (ECRIN National Hub of the Scientific Partner) in the coordination structure of the GdT.
