E-DRUG: Virtual winter meeting Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation 12-14 January 2021: call for abstracts
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-druggers,
The Utrecht Centre for Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation will again organise a Winter meeting for researchers in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis and regulatory science. You are cordially invited to attend this meeting!
Considering the current situation with COVD-19 around the globe, we have decided to organize this meeting online in a slightly different format with shorter sessions spread over three instead of two days. Although we will miss the live interaction with all of you, we think it is also an opportunity to reach more policy makers and researchers than before.
Contents of the meeting
Keynote lectures will be delivered around a central theme (which will be announced later). Abstracts will be presented and discussed in online parallel sessions. Abstracts are not limited to the central theme; all research in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis or regulatory science is eligible for submission. The focus of the sessions will be on methods used or proposed.
Abstracts for presentations
Abstracts should relate to planned or ongoing research and should at least state rationale, objective(s) and methods. Where possible early results can be presented.
Abstracts should be in English. Text should not exceed 350 words.
Abstracts for presentations must be submitted before 1 Dec 2020 using the template.
This template can be found using the following link:

You will be informed whether your abstract is accepted by 11 December. Only one abstract should be submitted from a single person because of the limited number of abstracts that can be presented. The presentations should be for a maximum time of 15 minutes and should be based on a maximum of 10 PowerPoint slides. Full papers should not be submitted in advance.
All sessions will be chaired by two senior researchers.
Target group
The primary target group for participation in this winter meeting are Masters and PhD students directly related to or closely working with any WHO Collaborating Centre. However, other Masters and PhD students, post docs and (senior) researchers who have an interest in the policy aspects or regulation of pharmaceuticals are welcome to submit abstracts.
Meeting details
The conference will be held online through MS Teams.
The keynote lectures and parallel sessions will be spread over the course of three days between 13.00h-17.00h to avoid full day online sessions.
The final programme will be based on abstract submissions and will be sent to all attendees before 1 Jan 2021.
Please register before 18 Dec 2020 through the following link: https://forms.gle/UyCHuy1XPkZYtXoe6
The meeting is free for all participants.
