Welcome to TheInvestigator-Initiated Trials Conference 2026 — The Investigator-Initiated Trials Conference brings together academic investigators, clinical researchers, hospital research offices, industry partners, CROs, and regulatory stakeholders to explore best practices and emerging approaches in investigator-led clinical research across Europe.
As investigator-initiated trials (IITs) play an increasingly important role in addressing unmet medical needs, generating real-world evidence, and advancing clinical practice, there is growing demand for practical guidance, regulatory clarity, and sustainable collaboration models.
This conference is designed as a focused, discussion-driven forum, moving beyond theory to address the real-world challenges of designing, funding, managing, and scaling investigator-initiated trials within the European regulatory and institutional landscape.
