Future perspectives for the next years of ENCePP network

(1) Facilitate the initiation and conduct of observational research in Europe and propose mechanisms to support multinational and multidatabase studies

(2) Improve the ENCePP code of conduct with additional tools to promote transparency, scientific independence, and good governance of pharmacoepidemiological research

(3) Ensure that the ENCePP network remains focused on public health and supports health decision‐makers such as regulatory authorities, health technology assessment bodies, and public health institutions

(4) Ensure that the network embraces relevant innovative data sources and areas of activity, eg, social media information and big data

(5) Continue to support best methodological practices in the conduct of pharmacoepidemiology

(6) Further develop the “pharmacovigilance” component of ENCePP and develop a methodological framework for measuring the public health impact of pharmacovigilance activities
