Sažetak
The tremendous advances of science and its application in technology, from drug modeling to drug formulation, emphasize the role and importance of networking in pharmaceutical sciences. The spreading of knowledge and information contribute to educational, cultural and intellectual enrichment, which in turn lead to technological advancement and economic advantage. In this context an international conference was organised in Zagreb (27 February 2009, GlaxoSmithKline Research Centre Zagreb Ltd.) with the main aim to support pharmaceutical sciences and networking of pharmacists wherever they work, in industry, academia or regulatory bodies.The conference consisted of three main sessions: Challenges and opportunities in pharmaceutical sciences through EUFEPS The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) – from idea to patients The scientific needs in pharmaceutical regulation and safety sciences. After each session, there were Open forums with trigger points (I – There are no borders for sciences nor for medicines market ; II - If science does not underpin clinical practice, what does?) in which participants were able to actively contribute to the conference, thus facilitating mutual understanding of their needs and offering practical solutions. The conference also consisted of two reflections, as a special part of the programme. The first reflection on the main theme was from European Association of Faculties of Pharmacy (EAFP) in the lecture entitled Pharmacy Education in Europe, and second was from developing countries, regarding the potential of networking in pharmaceutical sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The EUFEPS/CPhS Conference in Zagreb 'Networking in Pharmaceutical Sciences' was organized by the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences (EUFEPS) and the Croatian Pharmaceutical Society (CPhS), under the auspices of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia and the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. Partners in organisation were Croatian Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices (ALMP) and the Croatian Association of Research– Based Pharmaceutical Companies (CARPC), the associated member of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). Participants (196 registered) representing pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies, academia including pharmacy students, pharmaceutical societies and patients' associations were from 16 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Macedonia, Ireland, Kosovo, Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden, The Netherlands, Turkey and United Kingdom).
