Webinar recording - 30/11/2020


EDCTP and The Global Health Network have partnered to develop the EDCTP Knowledge Hub, a one-stop open online portal to provide researchers with tools and guidance to enable them to undertake high-quality health research. The aim of the EDCTP Knowledge Hub is to become a core resource for researchers that can guide and support the protocol development, data management and data sharing processes.

EDCTP and The Global Health Network are organising two webinars to present and elicit feedback on the EDCTP Knowledge Hub; one focusing on data management and data sharing and the other on tools and guidance for protocol development. The first of these two webinars, on data management and sharing, is scheduled for 30 November 2020 at 16:00-17:30 CET. The webinars are open to anyone interested in learning more about the tools and resources available at EDCTP Knowledge Hub.
