This is commonly referred to as &#8220;<u>indirect sponsorship<\/u>&#8221; of scientific events (or sometimes &#8220;educational grant&#8221;).\u00a0This new form of sponsorship is a\u00a0<em>choice<\/em>\u00a0made by the companies concerned and is by no means a legal obligation. Many companies continue to sponsor healthcare professionals\u00a0<em>directly<\/em>, without going through an intermediary (organization of the healthcare sector).<\/p>\n<p>The objective of this communication is to remind that\u00a0<u>the visa requirement under Article 10 of the Law of 25 March 1964 on medicinal products applies in an undifferentiated way to direct sponsorship and indirect sponsorship<\/u>\u00a0of the participation of healthcare professionals to scientific events (taking place over several consecutive calendar days, including hospitality).<\/p>\n<p>If the company sponsors through an intermediary, the introduction of the visa application will nevertheless need to be adapted.\u00a0The visa application is indeed then introduced\u00a0<em>jointly<\/em>\u00a0by the healthcare organisation and the company:\u00a0<u>the healthcare organisation completes the visa application and appends the necessary annexes and then sends the application to the company who checks it, pays it and introduces it.<\/u><\/p>\n<p>We have prepared an\u00a0<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Mdeon_BrochureInfo_12-2016_def-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>information brochure<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdeon.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Visa-for-indirect-sponsorship-v2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>communication<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to explain the above in detail.
