IFPAC/PAT/QbD Summit 2011

Eighth Annual IFPAC/PAT/QbD Summit with INDUNIV

When & Where IFPAC/PAT/QbD Summit 2011?

Time: June 21-22, 2011
Place: Isla Verde Beach Resort, Carolina, Puerto Rico
Submission Deadline:

Meeting Scope

The meeting will serve not only those that are starting to work in this area, but also to those already seasoned and familiar to these important FDA and industry initiatives. We will have plenty of new information for companies that are already involved in PAT and QbD.

Puerto Rico has a number of the leading PAT/QbD applications in the pharmaceutical and Biotech industries. Several representatives will be among the exceptional representatives discussing several of these applications.

We have also organized the conference to deliver much more than PAT and Quality by Design. We want this conference to be a showcase of new developments and trends in pharmaceutical science. Our conference program will be based on a quadrant approach, where each quadrant of the IFPAC summer summit conference will have a specific topic and set of deliverables.

• Quadrant I: Regulatory Challenges: The Development of QbD/PAT for QA/QC
• Quadrant II: Process Knowledge and Process Monitoring Methods
• Quadrant III: PAT & QbD Implementation
• Quadrant IV: Pharmaceutical Engineering and Control for PAT & QbD

We believe that we have organized a unique conference with a holistic approach to Process Analytical Technology, Quality by Design and overall Process Understanding.

ECCE 8

8th European Congress of Chemical Engineering

When & Where ECCE 8?

Time: September 25 - 29, 2011
Place: Berlin, Germany
Submission Deadline: February 1, 2011

Meeting Scope

Having the European Congress of Chemical Engineering and the European Congress of Applied Biotechnology together with several smaller events at the same place is an ambitious undertaking which holds the promise of finding new ideas in unexpected places. looking at the topics nearly all areas of our life are somehow related to Chemical Engineering and Applied Biotechnology, most particularly those which are in the centre of public discussion today: energy, water, Co2 and not least safety. The research programme will also show that engineering and technology is not based on such popular topics only, but that sound science and engineering still involve new insights in the classical foundation: unit operations and transfer processes. Both have changed with the computational skills and the new methods that have become available over the last decade and will change even more with the focus on nano scale, on biological or on interface dominated systems.
