I W P C P S® 14

Fourteenth International Workshop on Physical Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids

The IWPCPS®-14 will be held June 25-28 2012 in Barcelona, Spain

Preliminary Topics

New Topics such as:

  • Integrated API and DP Design
  • Foreign Matter
  • Particle Engineering
  • Dissolution Testing for the 21st Century
  • Theoretical and Empirical Methods for Resolving Relative Stabilities of Polymorphs
  • Precipitation of Solids in the GI Tract
  • Emerging Technologies
  • And Others
Purpose

The International Workshops on Physical Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids celebrates its workshops.

The first was held in 2000, 2001in Lancaster PA, USA
In 2003 in Oxford, UK
In 2004 in Stamford, CT, USA
In 2004 in Ettlingen, Germany
In 2005 in Kona, Hawaii, USA
In 2006 in Rhodes, Greece
In 2007 in Boston, MA, USA
In 2008 in Bamberg, Germany
In 2009 in Stamford, CT, USA
In 2010 in Lille, France
In 2011 in Indianapolis, IN, USA
IWPCPS®-14 will be held June 25-28 2012 in Barcelona, Spain

The workshop will allow you to learn in a relaxed environment about in-depth understanding of state-of-the-art physical characterization of pharmaceutical solids.

The program is intended to benefit scientists and researchers in the areas of drug discovery, preformulation, formulation, stability testing, product development, product quality control, and analytical services.

Workshop participants will be exposed to several analytical approaches of characterizing a solid. They will learn how these approaches can complement each other and may be utilized individually or in concert in the solution of real problems in pharmaceutical development and solid-state chemistry.

Objectives

The workshop will combine information about modern laboratory techniques to solve pharmaceutical problems and teaching about solid state characterization of pharmaceuticals. It will offer fundamental approaches as well as up-to-date technical information and future outlooks. Participants will have the opportunity to extensively network.

Who should attend?

The workshop is designed for scientists, formulators and regulatory personnel from the following areas:

  • Pharmaceutical Research and Development
  • Ethical and Generic Pharmaceutical Production
  • Excipient/Chemicals Production
  • Veterinary Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Food Processing
  • Compounding Pharmacists
  • Regulatory Agencies
  • Academia
  • Analytical Equipment Manufacturers
  • Analytical Laboratories
Location and Time

June 25-28, 2012
Technical University of Barcelona, Spain in collaboration with the Materials Characterization Group (GMC) at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. http://www.upc.edu/eng/

Barcelona Tech University (UPC) is a University with a worldwide reputation. It is Spain’s technical university with the highest number of international PhD students and the largest number of international masters’ degree students. http://gcm.upc.edu/

The city of Barcelona was founded more than 2,000 years ago. Its origins as a colony and port of the Roman Empire bear witness to the importance of the Mediterranean throughout its history. Barcelona has always been a crossroads of the sea and terra firma, a meeting place and melting pot of some of the most important Mediterranean cultures across the centuries.

The city enjoys an extraordinarily mild climate year round due to its prime location in southeast Europe, on the shores of the legendary Mare Nostrum.

Barcelona is a modern, cosmopolitan, vibrant and dynamic city with short distances between its landmarks. People will welcome you with their warm and welcoming character.
