EMA opens its public system demo series for the fourth and final time in 2026 — and the 20th time overall — with a live-broadcast walkthrough of recent work on the Product Management Service, electronic product information (ePI), EudraGMDP certificates and the Clinical Trials Information System, on .

Dates and format

  • Date: 10 December 2026, starting 09:00 CET/CEST (a draft agenda and a separate listing of EMA's own event page disagree on the end time, 11:30 vs 12:30 — confirm the finish time on EMA's page nearer the date)
  • Format: online, live broadcast; a video recording is made available afterward
  • Organizer: European Medicines Agency (EMA)
  • Series: the fourth system demo of 2026, and the 20th EMA has organised under its Agile Network Portfolio management

What it covers

The session is built around two value streams. Product Lifecycle Management covers the Product Management Service, electronic application forms through the PLM portal and eSubmissions, electronic product information (ePI), and EudraGMDP — specifically, creating wholesale distribution authorisations and GDP certificates. Research & Development brings a dedicated, roughly 30-minute session on modernising the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS), led by its product owner.

Who should attend

Regulatory operations, submissions and pharmacovigilance staff who work with EMA's product-data and submissions systems directly — anyone tracking the Product Management Service, ePI rollout, EudraGMDP certificate processes or CTIS development. For a closer look at one of EMA's other sponsor-facing systems, EMA's XEVMPD training course for sponsors covers EudraVigilance submissions end to end, and EMA's CTIS Bitesize Talk on role management goes deeper on the CTIS system this demo also touches on; the full events directory lists everything we have verified.
