Call for Abstracts: Be a Thought Leader at the TOPRA Symposium 2026

19 - 21 October | Utrecht, the Netherlands

Ready to spark the next big idea? TOPRA is calling forward-thinkers, change-makers, and passionate regulatory minds to join Europe’s leading forum for regulatory professionals shaping the future of healthcare. We invite you to bring your unique insights, fresh research or hot takes on the biggest issues in medicines, devices, diagnostics, biotech, or veterinary regulation to TOPRA’s Symposium stage. This is your opportunity to share, spark discussion, and influence the direction of the regulatory industry. 

Do you have an idea for a hot topic in regulatory affairs? We would love to hear from you. Whether it relates to medical devices, in-vitro diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, combination products, or veterinary medicines, submit your abstract today for the opportunity to share it with an engaged professional audience. Sessions can be presentations or panel discussions, with panels typically featuring a chair and three speakers from diverse backgrounds. 

The Symposium is designed for intermediate and advanced professionals, with a focus on meaningful, forward-looking issues. Submissions should be substantive and unbiased, free from commercial promotion, and submitted by individuals only. 

For 2026, TOPRA is expanding the programme with more session slots and more opportunities for your ideas to be included. All submissions are reviewed by senior professionals from agencies, industry, and consultancy. If selected, you’ll refine your session, coordinate with speakers, and chair or co-chair your session at the event. Complimentary attendance to the full Symposium is provided to successful submitters. 

Abstracts are due by 30 January 2026 and notifications will follow in late March. Explore past programmes here.
