The working model of the European Network of Centres for Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance consists of the following elements:
1. | ENCePP Plenary: | The totality of representatives from registered research centres and networks/collaborations; they meet once yearly at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) |
2. | ENCePP Steering Group: | Oversees the network |
3. | ENCePP Secretariat: | Supports the operational and administrative work of the Steering Group; the Secretariat has been established by the European Medicines Agency |
4. | Working groups: | To operationalise the relevant expertise within ENCePP, there is a rolling programme of working groups and ad hoc task forces to which ENCePP partners contribute on a voluntary basis |
5. | Special interest groups: | ENCePP fosters the development of internal networks based around a shared interest in particular topics |
