The specific role of the Educational Working Party is to identify priority needs and primary challenges in GCP education and training among the various parties involved in preparing and carrying out clinical trials. As multi-centre and multi-country clinical trials increase across Europe, there is a need to focus on the coordination and harmonisation of educational and training programs in GCP. At the same time, it is becoming more and more evident that different traditions in medical and scientific education across Europe need to be appreciated in developing GCP practices. The Education Working Party works toward developing cross-national understanding through its state-of-the-art ‘Train-the-Trainer’ programmes and the development of e-learning opportunities.
