Agency structure

These pages describe the organisational structure of the European Medicines Agency.

The Agency is headed by the Executive Director. It is organised into five Units, each containing two to four Sectors. Most Sectors are further divided into a number of Sections.

In addition, there are some smaller services or functions that report directly to a Head of Unit or Head of Sector. Each Head of Unit, as well as some Heads of Sector, has a business and operational support group directly attached to him or her.
