  • Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1466
  • The signal management workflow based on selected PRAC case examples
  • EudraVigilance and EVDAS
  • Data analysis with R tidyverse


Who should attend
This course will be conducted in English.

This online seminar is designed for professionals in pharmaceutical companies who need to understand, implement and apply signal management in pharmacovigilance. The content is suitable both for experienced specialists and for those with initial professional experience.
Aims and objectives
Signal management is a core component of pharmacovigilance and is among the most frequent critical findings during inspections. In this seminar, you will learn how to fulfil regulatory requirements while keeping your processes efficient and lean.

On the first day, the focus is on the regulatory fundamentals and the signal management process. Step by step, the process is worked through and discussed based on practical PRAC examples.

The second day covers advanced topics such as communication with authorities, the use of EudraVigilance, data-driven analyses, digital automation and the role of artificial intelligence in signal management.

A special highlight: Benefit from complementary perspectives from a marketing authorisation holder and a former authority professional, offering well-founded insights from both sides.
