Consolidate your knowledge of the EU regulatory landscape to ensure successful registration of agrochemicals

Course Overview

The global agrochemical market is estimated to be worth over £50 billion, so if you’re looking to maintain your share of the EU market it is imperative to fully understand the regulatory requirements needed for approval.

With recent decisions from the EU on Glyphosate and continuing uncertainty around the interpretation of Regulation 1107/2009, regulatory issues should be at the forefront for any agrochemical company operating in Europe.

This course is designed to provide an overview of the EU regulatory landscape for registering agrochemicals, for those who are new to regulatory affairs alongside those who work in other departments as well.

Gain an understanding of how EU regulations will impact your regulatory affairs department and increase your cross-functional communication and problem solving skills with the help of this brand new online course.
