Summary

This two day course will give you a thorough introduction to the many tasks of a regulatory affairs department throughout the product life cycle of a pharmaceutical product — from early clinical trials and submission of a marketing authorization application to the life cycle management activities. You will learn about the EU procedures for obtaining marketing authorizations for pharmaceutical products, the documentation required in support of an application and many other tasks of a regulatory affairs department as well as the regulatory legislation.

Our course will focus on the European Union (EU) and give a brief introduction to the regulatory framework in the US.
