EUCRAF
EUCRAF is the acronym of European Centre for Regulatory Affairs. It is an independent organization dedicated to deliver up-to-date training program on regulatory affairs and drug development, with a focus on biopharmaceutical-related regulatory affairs in Europe. The program also covers the essential details for the systems in the US, Japan, Switzerland and other regions such as China.
Founded in 2009, EUCRAF was conceived because there was a lack of an adequate training platform specifically on biopharmaceutical-related regulatory affairs and drug development. Based on an intensive dialogue with key stakeholders from authorities, universities and industry, a specialized program on biopharmaceuticals related regulatory affairs and drug development was developed for the first time in Europe.
