19-20 November 2026 – Polo III – Health Sciences Campus, Coimbra
The Portuguese Society for Stem Cells and Cell Therapies (SPCE-TC) supports Clinical Trials Without Borders, an international congress bringing together academic researchers, universities, healthcare professionals, industry partners and patients, with the aim of building strong bridges between research, clinical practice and the community.
This meeting promotes a more human, collaborative and transparent approach to clinical research, where knowledge flows freely across universities, hospitals, research centres and healthcare institutions.
Taking place in Coimbra, the congress creates a unique forum for dialogue, training and co-creation among universities, medical schools, academic research units, hospitals, industry and patient representatives. By bringing these different stakeholders closer together, Clinical Trials Without Borders seeks to help design and conduct clinical trials that are more relevant, ethical and aligned with patients’ real needs.
The event also aims to inspire and engage the next generation of clinician-scientists, creating opportunities for collaboration, mentorship and early involvement in clinical research projects. In this way, Clinical Trials Without Borders positions itself as a dynamic congress, where innovative ideas, scientific rigour, academic excellence and patient care come together to help shape the future of clinical trials.
Every professional’s participation is essential to advancing clinical research and trial delivery across all its areas. Whether as a clinician, researcher or healthcare professional, your contribution enriches this collective dialogue and amplifies the impact of this shared work.
