12 Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte Joint ISCTM/ASENT Meeting, Feb. 2012, Washington, DC European Network of Paediatric Research at the European Medicines Agency (Enpr-EMA) Enpr-EMA aims to foster high-quality ethical research on quality, safety and efficacy of medicines to be used in children. It does this through networking and stakeholder collaboration with members from within and outside the European Union (EU). Enpr-EMA's main objectives are to: –foster high-quality, ethical research on medicines for use in children; –enable collaboration between networks and and stakeholders; –co-ordinate studies relating to paediatric medicines and avoid unnecessary testing in children; –build up scientific and administrative competence at a European level; –help with the recruitment of patients for clinical trials; –promote European Commission framework programme applications. –Enpr-EMA does not perform clinical trials or fund studies or research or decide on areas for paediatric research, as this is the responsibility of Member States, the European Commission or each individual network. The European Medicines Agency is responsible for ensuring collaboration within the network.
