The Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB) has come to the point that their scientific agenda for the coming years is ready to be launched. Our eye is focused on Europe and, even further, on International collaboration at the level of regulatory science. The roadmap towards this collaboration starts with taking responsibility in the governance of a regulatory science network in The Netherlands (RSnN), and strengthen knowledge and competence between regulators, academia and industry.
Strengthening knowledge and competence
Regulatory science is the R&D of the agency
Facts & figures
To put some figures in place, from 2011-2016, the regulatory science program brought about 231 scientific publications in peer reviewed scientific journals and delivered 18 PhD theses in close collaboration with the universities of Utrecht, Groningen, and Rotterdam. Another 4 PhD theses’ were supported through the TI Pharma Escher program, now Lygature Escher. In addition, the MEB supported the RIVM Health Chain Research program, that is nearing completion, and another 5 scientific projects in collaboration with external parties. The MEB hosted 69 bachelor- and master students from various universities, academic and technical, for short- and longer term internships.
The shorthand summarizes the MEB’s regulatory science achievements, and presents topics for the near future.
