Clinical Trials Day


Celebrate Clinical Trials Day this year, on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. This year’s theme, "Collaborate. Innovate. Advance." reflects the collective impact of our community. Together, we can shape the future of clinical research by sharing knowledge, fostering innovation, and driving meaningful change.


SOCRA is made up of dedicated professionals who are shaping the future of clinical research with quality and excellence. As leaders in the field, our members are committed to improving public health and advancing medical progress worldwide. At SOCRA, we proudly recognize the invaluable contributions of clinical research professionals who drive innovation, uphold patient safety, and push the boundaries of discovery every day. Clinical Trials Day 2025 is a time to celebrate the dedication and impact of those who are transforming clinical research and making a lasting difference in healthcare.


 In 2005, International Clinical Trials Day was launched to commemorate the day when James Lind started the first clinical trial on May 20, 1747. This clinical trial laid the foundation for modern clinical research.  In honor of this day, we are recognizing SOCRA Members’ contributions to public health, medical advancement and improved health outcomes.
