The European Commission is currently actively recruiting experts for the EXPAMED Expert panels, which will help evaluating high-risk medical devices and in vitro diagnostics. Due to several circumstances including BREXIT, there is an urgent need for additional experts, in particular in the fields of gynaecology, diabetes, orthopaedics and ophthalmology.

 Experts with an EU citizenship may submit an expression of interest through this online application form by 31 January 2021.

While the application will remain open, the selection will start immediately after this date.
