Call for workshop proposals for ESPACOMP 2023

We welcome the submission of proposals for training workshops at the 27^th ESPACOMP Conference. The theme of the conference will be ‘Medication Adherence from Drug Development to Patient Care’.

Training workshops have been a valuable component of the ESPACOMP programme in recent years. We are keen to expand and diversify the educational offer of ESPACOMP and encourage learning from the vast and diverse experience of our members. Workshops will take place on a separate day after the conference (2 December 2023) and can last a full day (7 hours, e.g. 9.00-17.30) or half day (9.00-12.30 or 14.00-17.30).

Proposal submissions for conference workshops are encouraged from the ESPACOMP community. Workshops should be interactive and motivational sessions and follow the ESPACOMP mission.
