Although the NorTrials Centre for Cardiovascular Diseases at Akershus University Hospital (Ahus) is already well underway with the organization of its own activities and the development of a national network for clinical trials, they decided to celebrate the establishment of the centre with an official opening on 14 December. Among those invited were representatives from the Cardiology Department, the management of the Medical Division, the Research and Innovation Department, the Communications Department and NorTrials Coordinating Unit.
