What is the International Collaborative Conference on Clinical Research (ICCR)?
The ICCR is a collaborative conference to enhance learning in important topics of clinical research. Everything at this conference is built on collaboration, from designing the sessions and collaborative talks to the presentation of posters and novel ideas in the Healthtech sector.
This conference was designed given the need to keep connecting the large network of the PPCR alumni to allow them to meet once a year to exchange ideas and keep the collaboration, the network, and the training strong and updated.
We have no doubt that this collaboration can help foster new discoveries in clinical research and, more importantly, make clinical research progress more equitable across the globe, helping to enhance knowledge in areas with fewer resources.
How is the International Collaborative Conference on Clinical Research (ICCR) designed?
In the ICCR, we expect that everyone will participate actively as to contribute to the generation and exchange of ideas. The learning sessions will be interactive, and participants are encouraged to bring their preliminary work to present in our virtual poster session presentation.
Besides participating in the live learning sessions with about 36 topics in clinical research. We divided the topics by specialties—for instance, clinical research topics in surgery, pediatrics, OB/GY, etc. In addition, we also encourage participants involved with a start-up in the Health sector to come and present their pitch in this global forum.
Furthermore, we prepared a practical program to help you analyze and publish your data as a pre-conference program. Finally, although it is designed to be offered fully virtual, we want also to have a live meeting (pandemic allowing) in an outdoor setting to enhance the connection between participants; we will have some networking activities. This meeting will be held in Orlando, Florida.
Why the International Collaborative Conference on Clinical Research (ICCR)?
Clinical research knowledge is essential to change clinical medicine, not only to generate new knowledge but also to improve clinical practice as to enhance the critical thinking of clinicians in this topic. This is the why of the PPCR project that Prof. Fregni started 14 years ago. Although the program is successful, it is critical that this learning becomes a long-life learning journey, and this is the idea with this annual conference in which about 38 clinical researchers involved with clinical research training created this annual global forum of clinical research.
