ENCePP Working Groups

The ENCePP working groups are of a temporary nature and the European Medicines Agency and ENCePP Steering Group will decide on a case-by-case basis about their tenure. Ad-hoc task forces and new working groups may be established as appropriate.

Current Activities

As of January 2011 the following three working groups and two task forces are active:

• Working Group Research Standards and Guidances
• Working Group Independence and Transparency
• Working Group Data sources and multi-source studies
• Task Force Access to data
• Task Force Non-interventional studies

For more information on the deliverables and milestones of these groups, see the ENCePP Work Plan 2011-2012.

Activities 2007 - 2010

In July 2007 the following four working groups were established to develop a number of critical aspects for the success of the ENCePP project:

1. ENCePP research standards and guidances
2. Independence and transparency
3. Inventory of EU data sources and methodological approaches for multi-source studies
4. Inventory of EU pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology research centres in ENCePP

With the launch of the ENCePP database of research resources in 2010, the working group "Inventory of EU research centres" had fulfilled its mandate and was therefore closed.
