On behalf of all our Italian colleagues in the pharmaceutical sciences, we invite you to attend the Fourth European Congress of Pharmaceutical Sciences, to be held on September 11-13, 1998 in Milan, Italy. EUFEPS '98 will be hosted jointly by the Italian Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Fondazione Giovanni Lorenzini Medical Science Foundation, on behalf of the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences. This series of Congresses has already been established in Europe by EUFEPS as one of the major meeting-points for the presentation of original work covering the industrial and academic advances in areas related to drug development and product optimization, such as synthetic and analytical chemistry, pharmacy, biopharmaceutics and technology. The format of the scientific programme will include a number of invited lectures from distinguished international scientists, together with contributed papers in oral and poster presentations. At the Congress there will be an Exhibition of technical instruments and products for the pharmaceutical sciences. You are cordially invited to submit an abstract describing your recent research in any aspect of the pharmaceutical sciences, using the format advised in these pages. In Milan you can be assured of a warm welcome and a stimulating opportunity to meet colleagues in the pharmaceutical sciences from throughout the world.
EUFEPS - The European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences EUFEPS was founded in 1991 with the mission to support the development of pharmaceutical sciences and innovative drug research in Europe, and currently links 23 Member Organisations in 20 countries. EUFEPS is the only pan-European body to represent the interests of pharmaceutical scientists in industry, academia, government and other institutions engaged in drug research, development, regulation and policy making. To achieve these objectives EUFEPS organises short meetings on specialised themes. Every two years EUFEPS sponsors the European Congress of Pharmaceutical Sciences, in partnership with national affiliated organizations. The three highly successful meetings held in Amsterdam (1992), Berlin (1994) and Edinburgh (1996) will be followed by the Fourth Congress, EUFEPS '98, in Milan from September 11 - 13, 1998. The Federation has also established a regular Newsletter and the bi-monthly European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Elsevier Science) as a service to members and to the international community.
THE FONDAZIONE GIOVANNI LORENZINI MEDICAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION The Fondazione Giovanni Lorenzini consists of two not-for-profit organizations, one based in Milan, Italy (founded in 1969) and the other in Houston, USA (founded in 1984): both are committed to the transfer of scientific information from basic to clinical science. The Lorenzini Foundation has run more than 250 international congresses on many different medical topics and has produced more than 150 publications.
