An aging population with increasing healthcare demands, the failure of drug candidates in late clinical phase, lack of suitable biomarkers, emerging and persisting infectious diseases in the absence of adequate prevention and treatment, the patent cliff, increasing regulatory hurdles amid an economic crisis – drug development may not be the most comfortable place to be.

How can, how must Pharmaceutical Sciences and Scientists contribute to this emerging European research environment? Which are the research priorities and objectives, how do the related implementation strategies look like? Who are the stakeholders, how are PPPs created and maintained? And how can research be translated to benefit European as well as global healthcare infrastructures? These are some questions we would like to address at this symposium with the implication of the EUFEPS membership and its networks, as well as outside partners.

The EUFEPS Annual Meeting is a three-day event with the opportunity to hold network and executive committee meetings prior to and after the symposium. The format is a mix of keynote lectures and workshops, along with podium discussions with contributions from the networks. Issues to be addressed are both the overarching topic as well as specific themes to be discussed from different perspectives.
