Calling all potential speakers for the EphMRA 2020 conference in Antwerp

Plans for our annual conference in Antwerp 2020 are now well under way. We are calling out for potential speakers in Antwerp, which will hopefully exceed the exceptionally high standard of papers this year. Submission Deadline - 18 September 2019 - submission form here. The bar has been set very high after this year’s conference but we are laying down the gauntlet to all speakers who wish to share their ideas with colleagues next year. We are holding the conference at the Flanders Meeting & Convention Center, Antwerp on 23-25 June, so put the dates in your diary so you can be there with your colleagues! Whilst the venue is not a hotel, it is extremely close to a wide range of hotels to suit all budgets.

EphMRA becomes the first GRBN Associate Member

The Global Research Business Network (GRBN) and EphMRA, the global association of pharmaceutical and healthcare researchers and insights professionals, today announce that EphMRA has joined the Global Research Business Network as the first Associate Member. Up until early this year, only regional federations and their national association members have been eligible for GRBN membership. The GRBN Board recognized the limitations of this membership structure, as there are a number of associations, such as industry or methodology-based associations, which do not fit the national/regional association model, and therefore were unfortunately ineligible for membership. By changing the statutes to create an Associate Member class, GRBN is able to include these other associations into the network, for the benefit of both the associate members, and their members, as well as the national and regional association members, and their members, and is delighted to have EphMRA join the network as the first Associate Member.
