Conect4Children (c4c) is a large, pan-European network, which aims to facilitate the development of new drugs and other therapies for the entire paediatric population. c4c is a collaboration between industry, health care professionals, academia and patient representatives, who come together to develop the infrastructure and resources needed to support high quality paediatric clinical trials.
In order to test the infrastructure and resources developed within the c4c network, academic and industry proof of viability studies will be conducted. For more information about the studies, please click here.
