IMI Education and Training, under the lead of EMTRAIN, organised the second LifeTrain Workshop entitled "Shaping a common framework for CPD in medicines research & development". The workshop was hosted by UCB in Brussels on 20-21 November 2012.

LifeTrain represents an idea whose time has come. More than 50 stakeholder representatives of European professional/scientific bodies, employers, course providers and relevant other bodies and organisations attended the workshop. The workshop was designed to share the vision, revise the stakeholder charters and plan for implementation. EMTRAIN could not achieve this alone but the combined efforts of all involved, has created an unstoppable force – a snow ball effect which is gathering momentum.
