About the department

The Event Adjudication area consists of 35 highly engaged professionals, specialists, and people managers from various academic backgrounds. We work in a fast-paced environment on an increasing number of trials in the late-stage clinical development. We establish, execute and project lead procedures for setting up, conducting, and closing event adjudication activities in clinical trials.

Event adjudication is a process where an independent review board of medical specialists assesses relevant events for fulfilment of pre-defined clinical criteria, with the purpose of generating high quality data for our clinical trials. The process is driven by the Event Adjudication area in close collaboration with internal stakeholders across the value chain as well as external clinical research organizations (CROs).

The Event Adjudication area is part of Safety Operations (+100 team members), which is one of the functional areas in Global Safety (+600 team members).

We have an informal office culture where humor and good relations are valued, as we believe it promotes collaboration, conversation, and teamwork, which is essential for us to succeed in our work.
