The Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) is the largest global organisation of and for those involved in regulation of healthcare and related products, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biologics and nutritional products.

RAPS stepped up its presence in Europe in response to growing membership demand, announcing plans to invest more than €2 million over three years implementing a strategic growth plan.

As part of its commitment, RAPS hosted seven face-to-face events in Europe in 2017. Workshops were held in Brussels, Belgium; Frankfurt, Germany and Vienna, Austria; and roadshow events traveled to Munich, Hannover and Ulm, Germany; and Maidenhead, UK. RAPS also launched its new RAPS European Council (REC) to help support the growing member base and volunteer network across Europe.
