Investigator Initiated Research (IIR)

EVICR.net is a platform for multinational clinical research in Ophthalmology in Europe and a structure to support multinational Investigator-Initiated Research (IIR). IIR are studies instigated by academic researchers.

If you are an Investigator and you have an idea for a multinational clinical study, EVICR.net helps you to develop your idea in a clinical research study in ophthalmology.

Consult the EVICR.net Investigator Initiated Research (IIR) leaflet for further information.
