Sponsored Webcast: Beyond Translation: The Centralised Procedure

When:  Apr 10, 2019 from 12:00 to 13:00

Sponsored by: 



12:00 – 1:00pm EDT

* 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.
