Register as a CME provider
In order to be able to submit an application for European accreditation of your CPD/CME event on the EACCME platform, you first need to create a user account.
Please fill out the form to register as a provider. Once you have received confirmation of your login, you do not need to register a second time.
Submission process
The recommended time for submission of an application is at least 14 weeks from the planned start date of the event. The latest date for receipt of a fully completed application form, supporting documents and confirmed payment of the EACCME® fee is 12 weeks before the planned start date of the event.
The whole evaluation process should take no more than 7 weeks from the moment the applicant has been informed by the EACCME® office that the application is complete and payment of the accreditation fee has been received.
The EACCME will not accept late applications.
Who is eligible to apply?
The EACCME® considers for accreditation events submitted by:
- an individual medical specialist
- a university or hospital department
- a scientific medical society
- a national medical association
- a medical communication agency
- a professional congress organiser (PCO)
- applications by other types of providers will be considered on a case by case basis
as long as the application is supported by an appropriate medical specialist who will take responsibility for the application. This person must be registered with his/her National Regulatory Authority. The EACCME® will NOT consider for accreditation events where the content, format or faculty is influenced by industry.
Fees
The fee for an application to the EACCME® for the accreditation of LEEs is determined in accordance with the expected total attendance of learners and is not dependent on the number of ECMEC®s awarded.
The EACCME® scale of fees is:
- From 1 to 100 participants: € 175
- From 101 to 250 participants: € 375
- From 251 to 500 participants: € 675
- From 501 to 1,000 participants: € 1,000
- From 1,001 to 2,000 participants: € 1,300
- From 2,001 to 5,000 participants: € 2,550
- More than 5,000 participants: € 4,400
The above fees are VAT excluded.
Should an applicant appeal, in accordance with the procedure set out in our reference document UEMS 2016/20, the EACCME® will charge an additional appeal fee of € 250.
The EACCME® reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change its fees at any time. An application already submitted will be charged at the rate applicable at the time that it was made.
The applicant will have no right to reduce the expected number of participants after submission of the application.
In some specialties, the UEMS-EACCME® has particular agreements with
European Specialty Accreditation Boards (ESABs). Through mutual agreements with each of these, the UEMS-EACCME® will submit all eligible applications in these fields to the relevant ESAB for their specialist review. Accordingly, ESABs are entitled to issue an invoice to Providers in order to cover for their specific administrative tasks and provisions for quality assurance in their CME events.
