BELGIAN ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL RESEARCH PROFESSIONALS

Our mission: To provide global leadership to promote integrity and excellence for the clinical research profession. ACRP is the primary resource for clinical research professionals in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries, and those in hospital, academic medical centers and physician office settings. The global ACRP organization was founded in 1976 to address the distinct educational and networking needs of research nurses and others who supported the work of clinical investigations. With its own professional society came the recognition of a new distinctive profession - that of the clinical researcher. More than 30 years later, ACRP is a global association comprised of more than 20,000 individuals in over 60 countries dedicated to clinical research and development. More info on the ACRP can be found on www.acrpnet.org/

 BELGIAN ASSOCIATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL PHYSICIANS

The Belgian Association of Pharmaceutical Physicians (BeAPP) is a non-profit organisation founded in 1972 by physicians employed in the Pharmaceutical Industry in Belgium. Its bylaws were published in the Belgian Official Journal of 21 November 1974. Since then, BeAPP has made efforts to increase the awareness and recognition of the important role of physicians within the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical Medicine is the medical and scientific discipline concerned with the discovery, development, evaluation, registration and monitoring of medicines for human use, as well as with the medical aspects of their commercialisation and this for the benefit of patients and the public health at large. BeAPP has endeavoured to portray the image of this profession, as favourably as possible, not just towards other physicians but also towards regulatory and academic institutions. www.beapp.be
