Workshop on dosage forms and drug delivery systems.

The workshop will be hosted in Helsinki directly after 2nd Summer School, while ZNT as an industrial partner will be responsible for the programme organisation. The event will be directed specifically to the ORBIS members and will consist of meetings, presentations and discussions on the scientific outcomes of the activities described in WP2. The case studies demonstrated by the participants will focus especially on topics such as: - design and development of polymeric micro- and nanoparticles, minitablets and self-microemulsifying systems, - application of novel spectroscopic and imaging approaches for structural characterisation of solid formulations, - implementation of Quality by Design principles to manufacturing process, - design of topical and transdermal delivery system, including ionic liquids or microemulsion-based solid systems. The workshop is intended to create a favorable environment for knowledge sharing between all ORBIS members and an opportunity to discuss the outcomes of secondments as well as further research collaboration between industrial and academic participants. Moreover, the event will also foster the soft skills development for the involved ESRs, who will have an excellent opportunity for the public presentation of their scientific results and secondments experience in the form of posters and/or short oral presentations.
