Innovative Trials: Officially Launched the Innovative Trials Academy, October 2026 - Read More
Our mission is to educate, inspire and empower people to understand clinical research: from the professionals shaping it, to the communities it serves and the next generation who will take it forward.
The Innovative Trials Academy (ITA) is our global education programme. It exists to demystify clinical research, challenge the myths that put people off trials, and build genuine confidence in the process.
Our mission is simple: educate the world about clinical research by meeting people where they already live, learn and gather. We do this through three core programmes:
Pharmaceutical companies and sponsors fund public education events in places people already go: health fairs, shopping centres, university open days, cultural festivals. We provide trained Academy Educators around the world to deliver these sessions.
This is how individual professionals get involved. Anyone working in clinical research, clinical research associates, Principal Investigators, study coordinators, sponsor staff, can volunteer their own time to deliver a talk.
They give honest, accessible talks to schools, universities, scout groups, local charities and beyond. We provide the toolkits, the presentation decks and the resources. They bring the passion and the expertise.
Education Partners is our third programme, and it works differently to the other two. Instead of funding a single event, partners make a longer-term annual investment in the part of the Academy that's deliberately not commercial: bringing clinical trial education into schools, colleges and universities, and building a future pipeline of people who understand and value research before they ever enter it.
Sponsors, industry professionals and education partners all start here. Tell us a little about you and the Academy team will be in touch.
