The Awards for Regulatory Excellence:

  • Reward excellence, wherever it may occur in regulatory affairs
  • Highlight the achievements of individuals, teams and organisations in the regulatory affairs community.

Since the launch in 2010 the number of categories has grown from five to eight, reflecting the range and level of contributions regulatory professionals make to the sector. In tandem the criteria for each category have also developed.

Submissions are evaluated by an independent judging panel of at least 20 leading figures in the regulatory sector. The categories are assigned to the judges to ensure that each one is judged from a range of perspectives – and to avoid possible conflicts of interest, eg being given a category which includes a nominee from their organisation. See our Rules page for more on how the Awards are governed.
