What is a Local EMWA Group (LEG)?
Welcome to Local EMWA Groups (LEGs)!
LEGs are all about bringing together medical writers in European countries or European regions to connect, share insights, and enhance our profession. LEGs serve as hubs for local networking, discussions, and the exchange of best practices, all in a language that suits you best.
What can you expect from LEGs?
- Local Networking: Connect with fellow EMWA members in your area to build valuable professional relationships.
- Discussions: Engage in meaningful conversations about medical writing tailored to your country’s context.
- Information sharing: Stay updated on the latest industry trends, guidelines, and opportunities relevant to your region.
- Best practices: Learn from each other and disseminate best practices to elevate the standard of medical writing locally.
Who can join LEGs?
All EMWA members are welcome! Whether you’re a seasoned medical writer or just starting out, LEGs provide a platform for sharing expertise, addressing local needs, and making EMWA more appealing to aspiring medical writers.

Thinking of starting a LEG in your country?
If there isn’t already a LEG in your area, you can propose and potentially initiate one! Simply reach out to EMWA Head Office with your proposal, detailing your objectives, planned activities, and how you envision contributing to the local medical writing community.
FAQ:
- Budget management: LEGs have autonomy over their allocated budget, so there is no need for prior approval.
- Promoting interest: if you are considering finding out about the interest of a LEG in your European country, you can leverage social media, but only official LEGs can use the EMWA LEG logo for promotion.
- Membership: LEG meetings are for EMWA members.
- One LEG per European country: LEGs are unique to each European country (or in some instances, possibly a European region) to ensure focused local engagement.
