SUMMARY:Data Compliance for Freelance Medical Writers
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 18th June @ 13.00-14.00 CET \nVena Verga-Danemar\, J.D.\, LL.M. (Tilburg)\, LL.M.-MAS (Geneva) \nFreelance medical writers and communicators handle personal data in everyday freelance practice: in the tools they use\, the documents they produce\, and the business they run independently. Data protection obligations can arise in all three areas\, but many freelancers have only limited visibility on where those obligations sit. \nThis webinar provides a practical overview of three commonly overlooked compliance areas in independent freelance practice: the data protection implications of everyday digital tools and client agreements\, the personal data that can remain embedded in shared documents\, and the obligations that apply to the freelancer’s own business data\, separate from any client arrangement. \nKey takeaways for participants \n1. Understand the data protection implications of the digital tools used in freelance medical writing practice\, and what client agreements should address in relation to those tools.\n2. Recognise the main places where personal data can remain embedded in shared documents.\n3. Distinguish between the obligations that apply when working under a client’s instructions and those that apply to the freelancer’s own business data \nLevel: Foundation \nPrevious knowledge required: The session is grounded in real freelance workflows and assumes no prior legal knowledge. This webinar is designed for EMWA members working independently as freelance medical writers and communicators. \nTo register\, please click here \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Writing for Localisation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 9th July @13.00-14.00 CET \nAna Sofia Correia\, Medical Translator and Writer \n\nMedical and scientific content is often developed for use across multiple countries\, languages\, and audiences\, yet writing and translation are still frequently treated as separate stages. This can result in ambiguity\, terminology inconsistencies\, and cultural or regulatory mismatches that create avoidable rework and delays.\n\n\nThe webinar will explore how sourcewriting decisions directly influence translation and adaptation outcomes\, and how a localisation-aware approach can improve clarity\, consistency\, and usability from the outset. The session will cover common source-text features that make translation more difficult\, practical ways to improve localisation readiness when writing in English\, and a simple framework to support decisions on whether content should be translated\, localised\, rewritten\, or transcreated. It will also address terminology decisions and the importance of considering the broader context when content is intended for global communication. Participants will leave with practical insights to help them create source content that is clearer\, more adaptable\, and better suited for use across markets. \nKey takeaways for participants: \n\nRecognise common source-text features that make translation and adaptation more difficult.\nApply practical writing principles to create clearer\, more localisation-ready source content.\nUse a simple framework to decide when content requires translation\, localisation\, rewriting\, or transcreation.\n\nLevel: Foundation to intermediate \n\nPrevious knowledge required: None. No prior localisation or translation experience is required. The webinar will be particularly relevant for medical writers and content developers who collaborate with global teams\, affiliates\, or translation partners.\n\n\nTo register\, please click here\n\n\nRegister here
