Our history is full of important milestones on our way to sustainable success
OUR STORY
The founding of SCOPE International AG in 2000 developed from close working partnerships established years prior. Many of our employees share more than 20 years of experience working together in international clinical research.
As the company is privately owned, SCOPE enjoys unparalleled freedom that allows for independent and strategic decision making. This contributes to the outstanding stability of the company itself and creates an environment of trust, facilitating long-term collaborations and supporting your clinical development plans from set-up to completion. Furthermore, our joint responsibility enables us to work as an efficient and committed team.
Over the years we have expanded our locations and set up new branches with permanently employed staff in Eastern, Western Europe and the USA. It’s an approach that has been driven by our sponsor’s requirements – many of whom have been with us since inception.
Today, SCOPE is an established full-service CRO with 17 offices and approximately 250 employees covering more than 30 countries enabling access to key patient populations and investigators in both routine and rare indications.
