Making science work

Dear Colleagues,

The success of the excipient conferences jointly organised by APV and IPEC Europe in the last years motivated us to continue also 2014. This year we put together a program focusing on two major areas: regulation and application.
In the field of regulation we will give a broad view on excipient regulation in Europe, the USA and emerging countries and would like to discuss with the audience the impact on our business. Excipient suppliers are more and more in the focus of regulators and drug manufacturers. This is reflected in topics on supplier qualification, marketing authorization dossiers and excipient quality system standards. Application related topics of the conference will be on pediatrics, parenterals, biopharmaceuticals, Quality by Design and novel excipients.
With this selection of subjects we would like to cover the range of current hot topics and allow participants to discuss the topics with experts. There will be enough opportunities for networking and learning about different subjects to broaden our horizon in the area of pharmaceutical excipients.
On behalf of IPEC Europe and APV it will be a great pleasure for us to welcome you to the conference 2014.
Hubertus Folttmann (Board Member of APV and IPEC Europe) and Frank Milek (Chair to IPEC Europe)
