This Conference is established as a global forum for scientists and experts working in academic institutions or industry to discuss their challenges and to exchange ideas. The intention of the Organizing committee is to provide an opportunity for the scientists closely related to pharmaceutical research, to come together and present their original work, share experiences and problems in warm and stimulating atmosphere. More specifically, the aim of the Conference is to address the most advanced directions and new achievements in physical chemistry methods applied to the research processes in drug discovery and pharmaceutical development. Topics covered in the conference program include separation techniques, methods of spectroscopy and microscopy, thermal analysis and physico-chemical profiling including dissolution and permeability. However, this list is by no means exhaustive.  

A diverse, well-balanced scientific programme is planned. The participants are encouraged to submit their abstracts either for Oral presentation or Poster exhibition. Pleanary lectures will be delivered by prominent and highly respected professionals selected for their past credentials and their distinctive vision of the future. Until now eight plenary lecturers confirmed their attendance at the Conference:

Alex Avdeef, pIon INC

Jennifer Dressman, J.W. Goethe University

Rolf Hilfiker, Solvias AG

Michael Overduin, University of Birmingham

Michael Przybylski, University of Konstanz

Slobodan Sasic, Pfizer

Gregg Siegal, University of Leiden

Klara Valko, GlaxoSmithKline

In addition, a few courses will be organized, suitable for scientists willing to acquire a comprehensive overview of the specific field of application in particular physico-chemical technique 

We look forward to welcoming you in Rovinj.
