Presentation

Building and Ensuring
A Common Positionning

The first aim of the CNCR, public structure created in 2005, is to build and ensure a common positioning of the French public hospitals on research and medical innovation stakes. The CNCR has become a keyplayer in the field of biologic, medical and health research, as it is identified as a privileged interlocutor of research organizations, the Aviesan Alliance, Public Ministries and the health industry.

The National Committee for Research and Innovation carries the voice of teaching, general and psychiatric hospitals* in the field of clinical research since 2005. The CNCR represents and federates its members around the development of their research activities.

In December 2020, the CNCR counted the 32 French teaching hospitals and 35 general and psychiatric hospitals as members. It gathers, with the support of the French Hospital Federation (FHF) many representatives of Hospitals and Universities Managers through their organizations.
