Getting started

Log in

Check with your organisation’s master trainer for CTIS whether you need to use the secure workspace. If you do, you can log in using your EMA account. If you have access to any EMA-hosted websites or online applications, you already have an EMA account and you should use the same credentials.

How to register

If you do not have an EMA account, you need to create an EMA account. Once your account is registered, you should ask your organisation’s administrator to assign you the roles and permissions you need to view and collaborate on clinical trial dossiers.

Training materials

Training and supporting materials are available for authority users on how to use the Clinical Trials Information System authority secure workspace.
