What you can expect this year

We know your time is precious and so the Sponsors Group are creating as much content and value as possible including lots of opportunities to meet and discuss all the main topics that are affecting you and your teams right now.

  • Keynote and parallel presentations from Regulators, policy makers, academic leaders in research quality and management and of course Non-Commercial Sponsors of R&D who will share how they have been doing things.
  • Short parallel presentations with open discussions including the opportunity to continue where we left off on some key topics last year.
  • There is a one hour training workshop between 3pm and 4pm for those who wish to attend
  • The training workshop choices are either Quality by Design (sponsored by RQA) or Essentials of Sponsorship (NHS R&D Forum)
  • Keynotes presentations, parallel presentations and the training workshops will all be made available as recordings after the session for a period of 12 months.

Topics and discussions will include the following

  • Regulatory updates for Non-Commercial Sponsors
