The organizing committee of the International Conference From Science to Guidance and Practice proudly announce the organization of the 9^th edition.

The annual meeting will be held between 25th – 27th September 2024, at the Sheraton Hotel Bucharest, 5-7 Calea Dorobanți, Bucharest, Romania. It will be co-organized by the Romanian College of Pharmacists, Center for Drug Sciences of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila Bucharest, O.F.Systems SRL and the Forum of Industrial Pharmacists Association.

During the first day, the presentations will focus on Dietary supplements / Food industry topics: moisture analysis, HPTLC, texture and flow behavior of food, checkweigher in wet environment and Good Weighing Practice, regulations and net content control in food industry, Zero Waste Concept in food industry. Two parallel workshops will be organized at the end of this first day (Quality Control and Contamination Detection Processes, respectively Real-time process control of key parameters with NIR-Online).

The second day will include presentations on in vitro dissolution / drug release testing by four members of the FIP Special Interest Group on Dissolution / Drug Release (Prof. Jean-Michel Cardot, Dr.Vinod P. Shah, Prof. Maria Vertzoni and Dr.Flavian Rădulescu). Additional presentations will discuss the role of rheology on the formulation, manufacturing and assessment of patient experience of topical semisolid dosage forms, use of colorimetry in the pharmaceutical industry, application of HPTLC on identification, documentation and quantification of drugs and drug products, as well as automatization of KF titration. Three additional workshops will be organized, focusing on KF titration, dissolution testing with a semi-automated system and collecting immediate results with UV-Vis detection, and rheological operation principles, measurements and best practices.

During the last day, speakers will discuss additional aspects of data integrity and failure avoidance, Good Weighing Practice, walk-in chamber for ICH Q1A Stability Testing, tips and tricks for ultrapure water and requirements for chemical and microbial impurities as well as principles for good practice for CW in pharmaceutical industry.
