CDDF Diversity Initiative
The CDDF Diversity Initiative is a multi-stakeholder project advancing diversity in oncology clinical research. It defines relevant population descriptors, reviews existing evidence, and explores how diversity data can be integrated into trial analysis. The work will result in a consensus white paper to guide more inclusive clinical trials and improve outcomes for patients across Europe.
Our Sustainability Efforts
Sustainability is a core value in the way we work. We actively promote eco-friendly practices such as using greener delivery and transportation options, re-using event badges and materials, and encouraging remote activities to reduce unnecessary travel. These small but important steps help us minimize our environmental footprint while supporting a more responsible way of working.
