EMA continues the series of half-day informational webinars, organised twice a year, aiming to share  practical advice regarding transitioning clinical trials from the Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC) to the Clinical Trial Regulation (536/2014) as well as best practices on CTIS.

The last informational webinar took place on 17 October 2023 and focussed on transitioning trials to the CTR. More information is available on the event page.

Regular CTIS bitesize talks are still being held as part of EMA CTIS event series, where sponsor users can learn from CTIS experts about a specific CTIS functionality and have their questions answered live. CTIS users can submit and upvote questions in advance as well as live during the events via Slido. All video recordings are published on the respective event pages.

The next CTIS Bitesize talk, scheduled for 29 November 2023 at 15.30 CET, aims to provide sponsors with a reminder on the CTIS training materials, the prerequisites for the use of CTIS, and updates on the CTIS transparency rules.

CTIS walk-in clinics, which provide sponsor users with the opportunity to raise questions about any CTIS functionality and receive advice from CTIS experts, continue to be a part of the regular CTIS events roster. CTIS users can submit and upvote questions in advance as well as during the live sessions via Slido as described on the event pages, where the event recordings are also available. Previous sessions for 2023 took place on 18 January, 16 February, 16 March, 19 April, 17 May, 14 June, 19 July, 20 September 2023, and 15 November 2023.

The next CTIS walk-in clinic event is scheduled for 13 December 2023, 16:00 – 17:00 CET.

The Sponsor end-user training programme continues, and the next event dates are 10 – 14 December 2023.
