DARQA (Dutch Association of Research Quality Assurance – 1981) is an organization of quality professionals working in the Life Sciences sector in the Benelux.
The MISSION of DARQA is to promote quality assurance in the Life Science sector in the Benelux by being a relevant discussion partner for industry, government and sister organizations in the areas of quality assurance and regulations.
DARQA does this by:
– organizing themed days, workshops and/or shorter networking meetings, the so-called cafés, where members can meet and share knowledge;
– providing information via this website and publishing newsletters;
– reviewing and commenting on new laws and regulations;
– maintaining external contacts with inspectorates and sister organizations;
– participating in (inter)national forums and symposia.
DARQA regularly organizes meetings for its members on current topics and also invites relevant authorities, such as the Health Care Inspectorate (GCP,GLP,GMP).
The meetings are usually also open to non-members of DARQA.
