In-person workshop | Building positive partnerships between patient groups and industry

21st September, 2022 at 10:00 am - 4:00 pm BST

In-person workshop: Building positive partnerships between patient groups and industry

10:00 – 16:00, 21st September 2022, The Royal Institution, London

We are delighted to announce our next in-person workshop focusing on how to build positive and equitable partnerships between patient groups and the life sciences industry

Collaborating with the pharmaceutical industry is often a key aim for rare disease patient groups looking to get involved in research or find funding partnerships.

For these collaborations to be successful, it’s essential that both parties understand each other’s needs and expectations.

During this workshop, we will hear from industry and patient group representatives who will discuss their successful projects, what they are looking for from collaboration, current barriers to partnerships and what they want to see in the future.

Register for your free ticket here.
