Kicking off the implementation of the QMS
EQIPD is developing a flexible quality-management framework that aims to improve conduct and reporting of preclinical research in both the public and the private sectors. We are glad to announce that the EQIPD team has reached a consensus on the design and core features of the EQIPD QMS and has developed an implementation strategy, with support materials and dedicated implementation tools. The launching of the pilot implementation was in 14 May 2019 at one of the partner sites, the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. This pilot phase aims to collect critical feedback, analyse errors and implement improvements.
