Focus groups

The APV sets great store on networking and interdisciplinary exchange of expertise within and between the various professional groups/expert groups. The structure of the APV also encourages the flow of information between the different focus groups by organising meetings of the heads of the focus groups on a regular basis. Besides the mutual exchange of ideas, the meeting of the focus group heads at the same time serves as a scientific forum for developing new projects and concepts.

At present, experts from academia and industry work in 12 groups with the following focuses:

• Analytics and Quality Assurance
• Pharmaceutical Education and Science
• Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics
• Drug Delivery
• Drug Regulatory Affairs
• Solid Dosage Forms
• Liquid and Semi solid Dosage Forms
