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.
Presentations from Pharma, CRO and Patient Group representatives
Clear examples and guidance on how to make collaborations between patient groups and industry a success
Interactive activities and plenty of time to network with fellow attendees and speakers
A panel session with stakeholders from across the rare disease community where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions
