Editorial
Dear ACGT community,
We are glad to provide all ACGT members and interested collaborators with this third issue of the ACGT newsletter. This autumn 2008 edition will be the occasion to present our work to date and expose the challenges and the great opportunities that are showing up.
Almost entering into its fourth year, the ACGT project is now showing the full scope of its ambitions with the integration of high level computable solutions for full clinical trials management. Great progresses have been made and exiting new opportunities for developments, with new organizations such as EORTC and other practitioners getting on board, that will considerably expend the scale for collaboration across Europe.
The ACGT annual conference in Crete has been a particular achievement, from the excellent service members got in an exceptional location, to the very challenging meetings and workshops where user organizations met with developer organizations to ensure that the objectives remain user oriented and friendly. The participation of the partners in the plenary sessions and optional workshops has helped speeding up the process of work so that practitioners can get rapidly on new clinical trials.
To achieve that purpose, all technologies developed in the project are now entering in a new phase of integration, thanks to the excellent communication between all partners of the consortium and the extensive work provided by the management of the ACGT project.
This autumn edition of the newsletter is the opportunity for us to highlight the ACGT Data Architecture as a whole, in the light of its current developments and we are happy to invite you to travel with us inside the project.
We wish you a good reading and want to thank you for your interest in the ACGT project, looking forward to very exciting developments in the near future.
