Who we are
Human. Experienced. Independent. Since 1993.
We are your partner for clinical studies, with peerless-quality consulting and support through practice – because the comprehensive know-how behind intelligent study design, perfect planning and systematic implementation is just the visible part of a successful clinical study. Others can do that too.
What makes us unique is the human component: our know-who: Not only do we know the most suitable research institutions for your clinical study, we also know the responsible study teams personally. We understand clinical practice, and we know who and what is required to carry it out. We have years of experience in dealing with ethics commissions and other authorities, and we see ourselves as bridge builders between interests.
In short: we never lose sight of the people behind the clinical study – be it the participating patients, the employees in the clinics conducting it or you as the client.
Outstanding performance deserves the swiftest and best support. This applies in particular to medical advances.
On your way to market success, rely on the comprehensive KNOW-HOW and KNOW-WHO of E&E CRO Consulting: the European experts reliably deliver valid results and data, saving you time and money.

In order to meet our standards, constant quality control is essential. It goes without saying that we work according to current GCP, ICH EN ISO 14155 and FDA guidelines. Our employees regularly participate in further training courses and seminars. Furthermore, we have ourselves audited and re-certified annually by international experts.
We consider ourselves responsible above all to the patients who make themselves available for medical studies, so that at the end of our work usable conclusions and valid data result.
