The ACRON is the industry association of 45 CROs in the Netherlands. 

ACRON connects and represents the Dutch CRO industry, national and international, thereby fostering clinical research that contributes to tomorrow’s healthcare.

Communication

Strengthening the community is a pivotal focus of our organization, essential for achieving our long-term objectives. 
The key concept here is “participation”; this involves participation in decision-making structures, engaging with all employees across our companies,
fostering collaboration and united efforts, as well as sharing knowledge with one another. The communication working group employs all available resources to attain this goal.
