About the conference

Marking the 10th anniversary of the Paediatric Regulation and foundation of the European Paediatric Formulation Initiative (EuPFI) consortium, EuPFI convoked its 9th annual conference with the International Association of Pharmaceutical Technology (APV) on 20th and 21st September 2017 at Biological and Chemical Research Centre, University of Warsaw, Poland. The participation of ~180 delegates from Industry, Academia, Regulatory and other organizations from 26 countries with diverse backgrounds and involvement in both formulation development and regulatory submissions provided a productive setting to reflect back on the past decade of paediatric formulations, to celebrate accomplishments, to welcome new researchers and enrich networking opportunities and to consider how novel and emerging technologies will yield further insights into what the future may bring.

To get ready for next 10 years, join and celebrate our 10th conference next year, 11th to 13th September 2018, in London where we want to be more global, encompassing developing countries and their needs. Watch the space!!!
