The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) of the Council of Europe is proud to announce the launch of the 12th Edition of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.). This edition – much more than just another number – ushers in a new, all-digital era for the primary source of official quality standards for medicines and their ingredients in Europe, now available on a redesigned, user-friendly platform enabling users to stay connected with a new 365-day licence.

This is a milestone in the evolution of the Ph. Eur. It builds on the proud tradition of scientific excellence, rigorous quality standards and international collaboration that is deeply embedded in the DNA of the Ph. Eur. and is exemplified in the dynamic and diverse community of almost 1 000 experts worldwide that contribute to its contents.

To present the full possibilities of the new Ph. Eur. platform, the EDQM has scheduled a free, two-part webinar entitled “Unlocking the potential of the European Pharmacopoeia Online” on 1 July 2025, with an additional session added on 3 July due to high demand. Users who want to know more are strongly encouraged to register.
