Event summary

Advancing regulatory science can aid in improving medicine development and evaluation, enabling patient access to medicines that better meet their needs. Collaboration and dialogue between regulators and researchers are crucial to keep regulatory science in step with innovation and to enhance its impact on the regulatory system.

Two initiatives will be launched:

• The 2024 draft update of the EMA Regulatory science research needs (RSRN)
• The EMA/HMA European Platform for Regulatory Science Research

The latter is a new initiative to enhance collaboration between academic researchers and regulators across Europe and beyond.

The event aims to stimulate interactions and collaborations to advance regulatory science research addressing key regulatory science needs. The event will combine presentations and moderated panel discussions.

Topics addressed during the webinar include:

• Regulatory science research landscape and collaborations in Europe
• Introduction to the new EMA/HMA European Platform for Regulatory Science Research
• Introduction to EMA’s 2024 update of EMA Regulatory Science Research Needs
• Opportunities for researchers to collaborate on and receive support for regulatory science research

Presentations will be given by EMA, national competent authorities, representatives of academia, and funders. The event will feature an interactive Q&A session and a panel discussion to address audience questions.

Primary audiences for the event include:

• researchers from academic, public, and non-for-profit institutions working on medicines development, development of tools with potential application to the medicine lifecycle or other types of regulatory science research;
• regulators;
• research funders;
• industry and trade organizations;
• patient associations;
• healthcare professionals.
