Invitation to the Joint Congress of the Hungarian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences and EUFEPS Annual Meeting

We are pleased to announce and extend a cordial invitation to the joint Congressus Pharmaceuticus Hungaricus (CPH) and EUFEPS Annual Meeting which will take place in Debrecen, Hungary from May 23rd to 25th, 2024. This conference holds a special significance as it is dedicated to celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Hungarian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences. Moreover, it continues the tradition of EUFEPS Annual Meetings co-organized by member national societies.
The purpose of the conference is to bring together pharmacists and researchers engaged in the pharmaceutical sciences worldwide, facilitating the presentation and discussion of their findings. This event will foster the exchange of information and the establishment of collaboration on both regional and global

level scales. Additionally, the conference offers a platform for scientists in academia, the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies, and clinical pharmacy to discuss significant subjects in drug research, development, regulation and therapeutic use within a friendly atmosphere.The conference slogan is “Tradition and Innovation in Pharmaceutical Sciences”. Through this theme, we will reflect on the progression of pharmaceutical sciences, address contemporary challenges, and explore future directions.

The topics of the meeting cover both basic and applied research from drug discovery to therapeutic application. The program of the parallel tracks will be organized by the scientific sections of the Hungarian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences, the EUFEPS networks, and some of the EUFEPS member national institutions and societies, each contributing distinct aspects of discussions.

The conference will feature eight prominent plenary speakers as well as several session speakers. Oral presentations will be selected from the abstracts submitted. We are aiming to organize a Round Table centered around Medical Device regulation. A highlight of the event will be the “European PhD student competition”, aimed at promoting and recognizing academic and scientific excellence among young colleagues. During the closing ceremony, several awards will be announced, including the Best Poster Award, the Best Paper Award of the European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the Women in Pharmaceutical Sciences (WIPS) Award by EUFEPS, and the EUFEPS Presidential Distinction. Additionally, a Hackathon will take place during the conference, organized by Frankfurt University and the Chemical Probes Portal.

We are eagerly awaiting the engagement of scientists from academia, industry, regulatory authorities, and clinical pharmacists, as well as colleagues with an interest in the future of medicines and the role of pharmaceutical sciences at the conference in Debrecen. Our intention is to commemorate the centenary of the Hungarian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences and continue the tradition of the EUFEPS Annual Meetings with an excellent scientific program.

Looking forward to seeing You in Debrecen, May 23-25, 2024.
