Clinical Trials 2021: National Tribute and Award Ceremony

Clinical Trials 2021: National Tribute and Award Ceremony

Australian Clinical Trials Alliance (ACTA), together with our events partners, will mark the biggest date on the clinical trials calendar, International Clinical Trials Day to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our sector at the Clinical Trials 2021: National Tribute and Award Ceremony on Thursday, 20 May 2021.

Please join us in honouring the remarkable Australians who advance our health system by designing, conducting, or participating in ground-breaking clinical trials and promote the importance of clinical trials and the expertise and complexity of the work involved. A networking reception will follow the Awards Ceremony with drinks and canapes and the much-needed opportunity to connect with colleagues. Registration is essential and seats are limited.

First held in 2016, the Clinical Trials National Tribute and Award Ceremony brings together clinical trials champions across health, academia, industry and the wider community to honour the remarkable Australians who advance clinical practice and save or improve the lives of patients every year.

The award categories are as follows:

• ACTA Trial of the Year Award
• ACTA STInG Excellence in Trial Statistics Award
• ACTA Consumer Involvement Award

Nominations are now closed for the ACTA 2021 Trial of the Year Awards. Winners will be notified in the first week of May and announced publicly at the National Tribute and Award Ceremony on 20 May.
