Membership fees directly support the work of the association which is focused primarily on the promotion of independent research and the communication with regulators.
Euro IRP has established itself as the recognised voice of the European independent research industry, representing the interests of independent research providers. The support of the membership enables sustained communications with regulators and government representatives providing a strong lobbying voice committed to improving the regulatory and fiscal environment for its membership to operate in.
Regulatory and industry briefings are circulated to the membership as it is digested by the board, who review and respond, on behalf of Euro IRP, to all regulatory consultation and discussion papers affecting the independent research industry.
Events
Events are held throughout the membership year, either organised by Euro IRP exclusively for the membership, in conjunction with third party providers, or through developing working partnerships which enable member firms to attend and take part in events without charge. These events include:
- Annual General Meeting – held in April with guest speaker and member drinks
- Chairman's call – conference call twice yearly providing an update to the membership on regulatory and industry news
- Quarterly Opinion Former and Networking breakfasts – discussions of hot topics raised by members
- Exclusive briefings from industry leaders and regulators
- Annual conference – in conjunction with the CSFI
