The EDCTP Forum is a premier international conference dedicated to advancing clinical research and combating infectious diseases affecting sub-Saharan Africa. It serves as a vital platform where scientists, policymakers, and global funders unite to translate medical research into real-world public health solutions. By bridging the gap between scientific innovation and policy implementation, the forum accelerates the development of accessible diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines while fostering sustainable research capacity and ethical healthcare standards across continents.

The event is organized by Global Health EDCTP3 and the EDCTP Association, in partnership with the local hosts for the 2027 edition: Spain's Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) and the Fundación CSAI (FCSAI).

In 2027, the 13th EDCTP Forum will take place in Madrid, Spain, from April 5 to 9 under the banner "Innovating together for resilient global health." This specific edition will focus on accelerating biomedical innovations, scaling up implementation science, and strengthening clinical trial capacity and ethics across continents.
