Conference Vetting System

VARIOUS STATUS

Where will I find the assessments decisions?

All Events submitted for assessment will be posted in the online calendar. All stages of the assessment process can be monitored through the publications in the online calendar

What are the possible status of an Event?

Intermediary status

  • To be reviewed (in purple): the Event submitted is in the review process and no decision has yet been rendered by the Compliance Officers.
  • Provisionally Compliant (in blue): means the most challenging criteria of an Event, namely the geographic location and conference venue, have been assessed compliant. The Compliance Officers are waiting for additional information from the submitting party to finalise the assessment.
  • Correction Notice (in orange): means that a non-compliant aspect of an Event has been identified by the Compliance Officers. A communication has been sent to the organisers with a proposed correction. The organiser have 10 days to implement that correction and provide proof of the change to the Compliance Officers to avoid having their Event assessed as not compliant.

Final Status

  • Compliant (in green): the Event presents no liability for EFPIA/MedTech Europe members and is eligible to receive appropriate support from members.
  • Not Compliant (in red): a flag is raised. Different forms, as per the respective Codes, of support to an Event should be suspended, withdrawn, or cancelled as per the agreement with the conference organising party.
  • Not assessed (in grey): the Event submitted is not eligible to be assessed under CVS/e4ethics. For example, Policy Conferences as well as National Events (with only local HCPs participating to this national event) are out of scope.

Will we be able to see if someone has already submitted an Event for assessment, in order to avoid duplicates?

Yes. You can run a search via the online calendar by date (start/end date) or you can run a search with a key word via the Search Box. If the event is already submitted and appears in the online calendar, make sure you identify the EMT reference number and only use this reference in all communications. COntact us if you notice a duplicate entry.

The Event will appear on the online calendar. Please refer to the question above on the different possible status of an Event.
