The programme features presentations on regulatory\, ethical\, and practical aspects\, includes speakers sharing real-world experiences from Switzerland and Europe\, and concludes with a final panel discussion reflecting on the future of decentralised trials in the country. \nAbout the SCTO Forum\nEach year\, the SCTO invites experts and guests from all over Switzerland and from abroad to its SCTO Forum. The aim of the Forum is to foster discussions on emerging topics that have the potential to change the way we do clinical research in practice. At a minimum\, these discussions should raise awareness of upcoming changes; ideally\, they also result in recommendations on how to best address these changes. \nRegistrationProgrammeLocation\nSwiss National Science Foundation\nPlenarsaal (Plenary Hall) \nWildhainweg 21\nBern\,\nSwitzerland \nSwiss National Science FoundationSwiss National Science Foundation\, Plenarsaal (Plenary Hall)\, Wildhainweg 21\, Bern
