Activities

edit

EFAMRO has three primary roles:

  • To adjudicate on cross-border complaints made against market research organizations through a self-regulatory framework[4]
  • To provide a common voice for national bodies when lobbying at a European or international level[5][6]
  • To develop and enhance international quality standards for market research (most notably the ISO 20252 quality standard which EFAMRO initiated)[7]

EFAMRO co-ordinates these activities with other research bodies globally through its participation in the Global Research Business Network (GRBN), a joint initiative with the Asia Pacific Research Committee (APRC) and the Americas Research Industry Alliance (ARIA).[8]

Leadership

edit

EFAMRO is led by an Executive Board overseen by Jan Oostveen (Director General) and Andrew Cannon (President).[9] [10]
