Are you part of a research project under the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) or the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI)? Do you want to understand what regulatory impact is and how to achieve it? Then join us on 10 December at 14:00 for this online event and seize the opportunity to hear from the EMA experts about the best ways for IHI projects to engage with regulators.
Why attend?
Regulatory endorsement can significantly enhance the credibility and applicability of your research results. During this event, you will hear from the EMA and from previous IMI projects and you will:
- Hear about what regulatory science and innovation is
- Understand why regulatory endorsement matters for project outputs
- Learn about the importance of defining a regulatory strategy from the outset
- Find out about the support services offered by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for applicants and consortia
- Gain insights from lessons learned by other previous IMI projects that have successfully navigated regulatory processes
- See how maximising regulatory impact can benefit your project and consortium, and beyond.
Remember! This is an interactive event with opportunity to directly ask your questions to the experts. You can even send them ahead of time, via the registration form.
Who should attend?
This event is open to everyone, but it is particularly relevant for academic researchers, SMEs, patients organisation, healthcare providers and private companies involved in IMI/IHI projects and more broadly in public-private collaborative research projects:
Whether you are new to regulatory processes or looking to refine your approach, this event will provide valuable guidance and practical tips.
