Who we are

BeCRO is a professional non-profit association of Belgian Contract Research Organisations (CROs) which are supporting the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical devices industry in clinical research and development of new products. The result of the combined industry efforts, including BeCRO members, is the availability of new treatments and therapies from which patients can benefit.

BeCRO is actively representing its members in respect of other
stakeholders, including the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical
device industry, the regulatory authorities, the investigational sites and
last but not least the patients. The goal is also to create public
awareness of the importance to conducting clinical trials in Belgium.

BeCRO represents currently about 30 CROs established in Belgium, ranging from small companies to affiliates of large global Contract Research Organisations. All of them have the same common goal : conducting safe and ethical clinical trials using the latest industry developments and guidelines leading to higher efficiency while maintaining the highest quality standards.

BeCRO actively supports its members in this area by providing the latest industry updates and dedicated training in clinical research.

Through its various activities, BeCRO constantly promotes Belgium as a leading European country for conducting clinical trials.

There are multiple reasons to carry out studies in Belgium, including:

High recruitment rate;
A small country with a very high density of outstanding facilities, skills and competences;
Competitive prices – less expensive than many other European countries.

BeCRO is a member of the European Federation of Clinical Research Organisations (EUCROF) representing 350 Members, Associate Members and Partners from 23 countries and over 25.000 employees. BeCRO plays a leading role in this European organisation via its active participation in EUCROF working groups and through its representation in the Management Board of the Federation.
