Enpr-EMA was set up to facilitate the conduct of clinical studies in children. It is an umbrella network of 39 national and international networks recognised for their paediatric research experience. It acts as a platform for sharing good practices as well as a pan-European voice to foster high-quality, ethical research on the safety and effectiveness of medicines for children.
Enpr-EMA focuses on:
- fostering high-quality, ethical research on the quality, safety and efficacy of medicines for use in children;
- helping with the recruitment of patients for clinical trials;
- enabling collaboration between networks and stakeholders;
- avoiding unnecessary duplication of studies;
- building up scientific and administrative competence at a European level;
- promoting European Commission framework programme applications.
