EUDAMED Workshop Stuttgart: Essential Training for Medical Device Stakeholders

The European Commission is hosting a free, hybrid EUDAMED workshop in Stuttgart on May 21, 2025, designed to support the onboarding of all actors involved with the European Database on Medical Devices (EUDAMED). This event is a crucial opportunity for economic operators, notified bodies, national authorities, and other stakeholders in the medical device sector to prepare for the upcoming mandatory use of EUDAMED under the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR, Regulation (EU) 2017/745) and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR, Regulation (EU) 2017/746)

Workshop Objectives and Content

The primary goal of the workshop is to help stakeholders understand the implications of EUDAMED’s mandatory use and raise awareness of the relevant timelines. Participants will receive:

  • An overview of obligations under MDR and IVDR regarding EUDAMED.
  • Practical guidance on using the system, including the Actors, UDI/Devices, Notified Bodies and Certificates, and Market Surveillance modules.
  • Clear instructions on what information to provide and when to integrate EUDAMED into regulatory processes.

Who Should Attend?

The workshop is tailored for:

  • Economic operators (manufacturers, authorised representatives, importers, distributors)
  • Notified bodies
  • National authorities
  • Any stakeholders preparing for compliance with MDR and IVDR in the context of EUDAMED

Registration is open until 12th of may for online participation.
