SIGNet’s functions are to:
- Link network Executive Officers
- Facilitate information sharing and mentoring of new Executive Officers
- Provide an opportunity to share insights on activities done well and to identify solutions to problems
- Provide updates from the sector and to receive updates from ACTA.
SIGNet is ACTA’s Special Interest Group for Network Managers. Each Clinical Trial Network may nominate a representative on SIGNet.
SIGNet provides a forum for Executive Officers, Network Managers and CTN representatives (generally referred to as Executive Officers), to share knowledge and expertise, identify issues, exchange information and engage in collaborative problem solving.
