* This webcast focuses
on the pharmaceutical sector.
In
this webcast, we will discuss the expectations of the language solutions
provider in its role within centralised procedure projects and explore how to
go ‘beyond’ translation in order to reduce the administrative burden on the
pharmaceutical company.
The
EMA Centralised Procedure allows global pharmaceutical companies to obtain
marketing authorization of their products for use across all EU and European
Economic Area (EEA) countries through a single application. Throughout this
process, the applicant must adhere to strict regulatory requirements associated
with translating pharmaceutical product information.
With
multiple stakeholders, potentially large translation volumes, detailed review
phases, tight deadlines, and other administrative requirements, the centralised
procedure is highly complex and necessitates a unique style of collaboration
between the pharmaceutical company and language solutions provider. This
partnership relies on the language solutions provider to be less transactional,
and more consultative.
Join
us as we discuss “At Risk” translations, QRD compliance, Member- state review,
administration of bookmarked PDFs and Appendix V files, as well as workflow and
deadline management.
