From this seminar I expected to learn more about regulatory activities, in particular on quality changes, and know more about the experiences of other colleagues. I think that it met all my expectations.

Good organisation and interesting topics in a nice atmosphere.


I appreciated all the topics. The seminar was were structured, starting from an overview of all types of variations and line extensions, then focusing on quality changes with some case studies. I found all the advices on how to manage the documentation correctly.


Useful to deepen several aspects of regulatory activities.
