TOPRA in... | TOPRA

Over the last 5 years TOPRA has continued to expand its international educational and training activity, delivering local educational & training events in countries across Europe and more recently in North America.
As a result of the enthusiasm and discussions held with the many international participants who have attended our courses and events, TOPRA were asked to try and build a more comprehensive and formalized ‘local’ network of like minded professionals in Regulatory Affairs (RA), supported by and in conjunction with TOPRA, called ‘TOPRA in...’.
As a result, ‘TOPRA in...’ (specific country/region), has been developed to support the TOPRA membership living and working in a country/region, aimed at providing a forum for discussion and networking meetings.

‘TOPRA in Ireland’ is one of the first groups of its kind to be developed and has now has its own local Chair and Working Party, working together to deliver local networking and discussion forums with local members in Ireland. As a result, TOPRA in Ireland held their first local networking event (since formation in October 2010) on the 3rd of March 2011 at the local Bryne Wallace offices, Dublin, with over 50 professional local participants attending.
This event was a huge success and included local presentations from members based in Ireland and provided an excellent networking opportunity for like minded professionals in RA.
