The European Medicines Agency is hosting a multi-stakeholder workshop on the veterinary medicine aspects of its draft ‘Regulatory Science Strategy to 2025’ on 5-6 December.
The draft strategy sets out working proposals on the key areas in which EMA intends to engage. The goal of the strategy is to ensure that the Agency has the regulatory tools to continue supporting the European medicines regulatory network and fulfil its ongoing mission in light of upcoming scientific challenges. The final strategy is expected in early 2020.
The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the outcome of the public consultation on the draft strategy, reflect on the prioritisation of core recommendations and identify concrete actions to implement the key goals and recommendations. The workshop follows a similar event held on 18-19 November to discuss the human medicine aspects of the strategy.
An 
agenda of the workshop , which will be held at EMA’s premises in Amsterdam, is available. Both the plenary and breakout sessions can be followed via live broadcast on the event page.
EMA’s ‘Regulatory Science Strategy to 2025’ was released for public consultation between December 2018 and June 2019. Around 150 individuals and organisations across a broad range of stakeholder groups submitted 
comments which EMA has published in a partially anonymised format. The principle objective of the consultation was to allow stakeholders to engage with the proposed strategy and express their views on future priorities and where resources should be best attributed.
The presentations and audio recordings of this workshops will be made available.
