Call for participants to co-create a transparency tool for funders

The BIH QUEST Center for Responsible Research at Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin is inviting non-commercial funders of clinical trials to participate in a co-creation workshop aimed at developing a new tool to support funders’ trial transparency needs.

This initiative is part of a research study exploring how to improve transparency across the clinical trial ecosystem. It builds on a series of interviews with funders and will incorporate perspectives gathered through dedicated workshops with a range of stakeholders, including registries, infrastructure providers, research institutions, and clinical investigators.

The final stage of the project will bring together funders to ideate and prototype a practical solution for supporting trial transparency. Funders with practical, day-to-day experience in clinical trials or trial transparency are especially encouraged to take part.

To accommodate different schedules, two identical workshop sessions will be held:

• Wednesday, 20 August 2025, 14:00–16:00 CEST
• Tuesday, 9 September 2025, 14:00–16:00 CEST

Participants are asked to attend one session only and to indicate availability for both dates to help organisers balance participation across the two groups.
