WEB-RADR 1

Objective: The original WEB-RADR project was launched in September 2014. The three-year project sought to utilise the powers of social media and new technologies for pharmacovigilance purposes. The project arose in response to the ninth call for Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) projects ‘WEBAE – Leveraging Emerging Technology for Pharmacovigilance’.

WEB-RADR Governance:

The WEB-RADR project had three levels of governance; the individual Work Packages, the Steering Committee and the General Advisory Board. Individual Work Packages met on weekly or bi-weekly to review work progression. Updates from individual Work Packages were reported at monthly Steering Committee meetings by Work Package Leaders. The General Advisory Board met on a yearly basis throughout the project. In addition every organisation contributed to the consortium assembly, a forum for sharing updates on project progress and outputs.
