Five years after it met for the first time in June 2008, the Regulators Forum decided to reinforce its role on international cooperation activities between pharmaceutical regulators as the International Pharmaceutical Regulators Forum (IPRF).
The IPRF will provide members a unique opportunity to leverage the expert scientific knowledge, regulatory and operational experience, on-going technical harmonization work, and information access of other participating regulators.
The first goal is to enable all parties to identify new approaches and specific best practices, and develop smart strategies for dealing with the challenges of the globalization of the pharmaceutical industry.
The second goal is to provide a global overview of the different regulatory developments at national and international level and enable open sharing of information and ideas among regulatory leaders with hands-on operational responsibilities. This information sharing will allow the forum participants to discuss issues at an actionable level of detail.
The third goal is to support international regulatory cooperation in areas which are not covered by existing initiatives.
