HORIZON EUROPE | Compliant by Design Roadmap: A Key Guide from the ETERNAL Project

March 30, 2026

The “Compliant by Design Roadmap” is the first paper that was published by the ETERNAL project, and it served as the foundation for all subsequent tasks and developments within the initiative. This roadmap provides practical and strategic guidance for integrating sustainability into pharmaceutical development from the very beginning, ensuring that environmental and regulatory considerations are embedded throughout the product life cycle.

The project is EU-funded under Horizon Europe, and Asphalion acts as the regulatory partner, supporting the consortium in ensuring that all developments are fully aligned with regulatory frameworks while promoting sustainability and innovation.

By following the principles outlined in this paper, the ETERNAL consortium has been able to guide its efforts toward more efficient, safer, and environmentally responsible processes. It offers insights that are applicable to both academic research and industrial practice, helping teams navigate the complex challenges of sustainable pharmaceutical innovation.

Key aspects covered in the paper include:

  • Embedding sustainability in early-stage design to reduce environmental impact throughout the product life cycle
  • Compliance-driven strategies to align innovation with regulatory requirements
  • Guidelines for practical implementation in real-world pharmaceutical manufacturing settings

The paper continues to be a vital resource for researchers, regulators, and industry professionals aiming to adopt “Compliant by Design” principles, ensuring that every new development considers both human health and environmental sustainability.
