We are very pleased to announce that in 2013, the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) will host its Annual Congress in collaboration with the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI) and its Irish partners.
In a constantly evolving environment, where advances in science, technology and communications require us all to adapt, it is vital that the pharmacy profession is at the forefront of change; responding to medical innovations alongside changing patient needs.
The theme of the 2013 conference- Towards a future vision for complex patients: Integrated care in a dynamic continuum - will address these developments, and the central role of the pharmacist in delivering patient care in an ever more challenging setting.
Today pharmacy in Ireland is undergoing its biggest transformation thanks to legislative change to regulate the profession and expand the roles of pharmacists in Ireland. Much has changed since Dublin last hosted the Congress in 1975! It is hoped that these experiences can be shared with visiting delegates.
We are delighted also to announce that a Forum for Pharmacy Policy-makers and Chief Pharmacists will be held in Dublin in conjunction with the FIP Congress. Continuing on the outcomes of the 2012 Ministerial Summit, emphasis will be placed on interaction between participants to facilitate an open venue for debate on issues affecting our patients and our profession.
We hope that Dublin will follow the Centennial FIP Congress in being the most important meeting place for our global network of pharmacists. We look forward to seeing you there!

The mission of MipTec is to bring together scientists from all disciplines involved in drug discovery within pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic labs and technology providers in an atmosphere, where ideas and experiences are shared and discussed. This atmosphere is created through a scientific program covering key topics and the latest breakthroughs in the diverse fields that make up drug discovery.

The ongoing discovery of new and highly diverse sponges in Western Australia, combined with recent advances in molecular technologies,sets the stage for the conference theme of ‘New Frontiers in Sponge Science' at the Ninth World Sponge Conference in Fremantle, Western Australia from 4 – 8th November 2013.
The key mission of this conference is to highlight this diversity and inspire research within these habitats, thus providing a perfect backdrop for the international gathering of hundreds of scientists with disciplines spanning ecology, evolution, microbiology, marine natural products chemistry, taxonomy, genetics and molecular biology.
Attendance at this meeting will provide an invaluable opportunity to both access and showcase the advances and frontiers in research currently being attained in sponge and benthic science. This will stimulate research interest from marine scientists around the globe, and reach beyond sponge science.
Importantly, this conference aims to bring together industry with scientists so the benefits of sponge science can be taken up by the resource, policy and environmental sectors.
Our venue is the historical port of Fremantle at the mouth of the Swan River. It is a stunning setting in which to meet and network and we very much hope you can join us "down under" for this exciting conference.

The International Marine Biotechnology Conference is the premier meeting in marine biotechnology and micro-biotechnologies. Dating back to 1989, previous IMBCs have been held in Japan (twice), The United States of America, Norway, Italy, Australia, Canada, Israel, China and Australia.
The 10th IMBC will showcase leading-edge developments in marine biotechnologies, from algal biotechnologies through to whole-organism biotechnologies and the application of marine genomics, metagenomics and chemistry in biomedicine, bioprocessing and aquaculture. Sustainable policies and practices will be at the fore throughout the conference.
Over the coming months further details about this meeting will come available, including a list of international plenary speakers and details on specific symposia. Along with this information, will be details on the registration, abstract submissions and trade displays.
We look forward to seeing you in Brisbane, gateway to Queenland's natural wonders.
