The Conference Vetting System reviews the compliance of third-party educational conferences with the Eucomed Code of Ethical Business Practice (the “Code”) to determine the appropriateness for companies which are members of Eucomed and members of the national associations affiliated with Eucomed to sponsor Healthcare Professionals to participate in such conferences.

The Conference Vetting System is a centralised decision-making system that encourages transparency and consistency in medical conferences and alleviates the complex administrative burden previously faced by Eucomed members, who were constrained to make their own determinations on whether or not a conference is compliant with the Code.

The decisions rendered by the Compliance Officer are binding on Eucomed members, meaning that members of Eucomed and of national associations affiliated with Eucomed may not directly sponsor or cover expenses of Healthcare Professionals to attend a third-party conference which is found to be not compliant.
