E-DRUG: Invitation & call for abstracts wintermeeting WHO-UU CC 9,10 Jan 2018
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues,
The WHO Collaborating Centre for Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation in collaboration with the Department of Essential Medicines and Health Products, WHO will organise a Winter Meeting on 9 + 10 January 2018 for researchers in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis and regulatory science. As in previous years, we have chosen to combine the opportunity for (young) researchers to discuss their work with peers on the first day with a central theme and key note lectures on the second day of the meeting
You are cordially invited to attend this meeting!
Contents of the meeting
On the first day of the meeting, submitted abstracts will be presented and discussed in the morning and afternoon (oral and poster presentations). Abstracts are not limited to the central theme of the second day; all research in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis is eligible for submission. The focus of the sessions will be on methods used or proposed.
The second day of the meeting will focus on Vaccines as major topic. Since decades vaccines have been in the middle of many policy, regulatory and public health debates. There are many proven benefits from vaccines for individuals and society at large. But there are also issues, often highly controversial, e.g. whom to vaccinate, (long-term) safety, confidence in regulators or economics, that make vaccines a powerful, cross-cutting learning device for pharmaceutical policy and regulation.
