The EFGCP Children’s Medicines Working Party and DIA Europe are pleased to announce their second joint paediatric conference. Traditional paediatric meetings of both societies in the past and the joint meeting in 2009 have attracted top level speakers from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), FDA, national authorities, WHO, academia, pharmaceutical industry and parents & patients’ organisations. This second joint program will again offer the opportunity for intensive discussion among stakeholders in different topics relevant for paediatric medicines. We will address visions, daily challenges and ways forward in paediatric drug development. On this basis, the conference will also offer excellent networking opportunities for all attendees. The conference will include three parallel breakout sessions on each day for a lively interactive discussion. Furthermore, it will provide participants with the opportunity to ask questions by e-mail before the conference and during the morning of day 1. These will be addressed in the afternoon by a speaker panel chaired by Paolo Tomasi, European Medicines Agency (EMA). Session Overview
