Priority topics

Published

June 12, 2026

Currently, the EFSPI methods leaders are working on five priority topics. These topics are aligned with both EFSPI and EFPIA and input from further stakeholders, e.g. the EFSPI / PSI eSIGs, is sought as well. The idea is to contribute to scientific discussions through publications and presentations and to be prepared for discussions with regulators once there are opportunities, e.g. within EMA multistakeholder workshops.
