The Education Award recognises individuals who have made a significant contribution to the education and training of regulatory affairs, perhaps through the development of a formal educational qualification, the consistent delivery of a training product, or the production of an innovative in-house training programme.

The category also includes companies or organisations that have demonstrated support for the development of regulatory affairs professionals through, for example, tailored training programmes, or by encouraging staff to undertake professional qualifications, such as an MSc.

Entries are also encouraged from writers of seminal reference works or producers of online education tools, including individuals or teams working in an academic or non-profit environment.

This award category is open to individuals, teams or organisations.

Nominations may be for a person or team who has:

1. Demonstrated a creative or innovative approach to training in a complex regulatory topic.
2. A proven track record of producing excellent learning outcomes in their students/delegates.
3. Been responsive to the changing regulatory affairs environment.
4. Proven their dedication and commitment to the field of education in regulatory affairs over many years, or perhaps has been a champion in the introduction of formal qualifications in the subject.
5. Consistently delivered excellent, insightful, topical and provoking presentations at regulatory conferences and meetings that have challenged and informed the audiences.
6. Demonstrable evidence that students have achieved positions of responsibility or accomplished projects that can be attributable to the training received.
