As a strategic goal, liaison with other European and International organisations in the area of pharmaceutical sciences is essential for EUFEPS.

EUFEPS co-sponsors, and participates in the scientific programme of the World Congress in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and is organising the World Conference on Drug Absorption and Drug Delivery. Other initiatives include the innovative
annual Optimising Drug Development conference series, the New Safe Medicines Faster project aimed at the EU 6th RTD Framework Programme, educational and training programmes, as well as the biennial Congresses in the Pharmaceutical Sciences, which bring together European scientists from all the disciplines comprising the pharmaceutical sciences.

Regulatory Bodies

The European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA). It has recognised EUFEPS as an independent Pan-European scientific sounding board.

US Food and Drug Administration Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (FDA CDER). A good working relationship is in place as an active FDA Liaison Officer to EUFEPS (Dr Lawrence J. Lesko, PhD) was appointed.


European Union

E´EUFEPS has developed relations with the EU on the level of the Commission, and EUFEPS has an active Liaison Officer to European Affairs (Professor Ole J. Bjerrum, Danish University of Pharmaceutical Science, Copenhagen, Denmark). This gives short access to early information on further developments of the EU Research Programme, particularly, but also to other relevant and important Europan collaboration matters and issues.
