Presentation
After the first "Innovation in Drug Delivery" which took place in Naples (2007) with special emphasis on Biomaterials and Devices, APGI and ADRITELF are pleased to announce the second conference of the series.
This time, we will follow the different steps of the drug delivery system creation: from preformulation to formulation and industrial development, and highlight the role of precise tools for the characterization and evaluation at each level of the process.
The programme will include plenary and invited lectures as well as oral contributions. The plenary lectures will also treat topics beyond drug delivery. There will be technical sessions devoted to specific scientific equipment.
The conference will take place in Aix-en-Provence. You will discover the unique and charming alliance of history, with its palace, cathedral and mansion houses, literature with Zola and painting with Cezanne, and of modernity with its university as well as its international festival of lyric arts. You will enjoy walking in the small quiet streets of the centre and discover cafés, restaurants, fountains, flower markets and elegant shops. Aix is easily accessible by car, train or plane. We are sure that you will take this opportunity to discover the surrounding Provence.
Your presence as sponsor and/or as exhibitor will demonstrate of your contribution and, of course, promote awareness of your activities in the field, as this will clearly appear in the conference documentation. There are various types of contribution you may consider as shown in the attached documents: sponsorship, exhibiting and advertising. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further information
(Download sponsoring package).
We will be delighted to welcome you in Aix-en-Provence in 2010.
