European QP Association Developments January through April 2026

Board Developments
A Board meeting was held online via WebEx on 25 February. The meeting focused on updates of the Good Practice Guide, planning details for the 2026 QP Forum, and enhancing collaboration within the quality professional community.

New Task Force
The EQPA IMP Working Group has formed a PSF Taskforce. The goal is to interpret survey results and work together on key challenges.
With a Call for Participants, the IMP Working Group was looking for active participants and was able to identify a group of suitable QPs from different areas.

Miscellaneous
This year's QP Forum will be held on 26/27 November 2026 in Barcelona as on-site only Conference. A lot of hot topics for QPs have been identified and will be discussed in the various presentations and interactive sessions.
Preceding the Forum, three parallel Pre-Conference Sessions on specific topics will run on 25 November: Investigational Medicinal Products, Data Quality and Data Management and one for new QPs.
