Chapter's Region:
Germany, Austria, Switzerland
Thank you for being a part of the PDA D/A/CH Chapter.
The PDA D/A/CH Chapter, a soon-to-be-registered (e.V.) non-profit affiliation of the PDA, envisions "Open Access, Discourse & Information for the pharmaceutical industry in the D/A/CH Region."
Our mission is to enable open and comprehensive knowledge exchange among individuals at different career stages and with diverse levels of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Thereby, we promote intergenerational and interdisciplinary dialogue. We achieve this through networking, mentoring, and local events.
All our activities are based on volunteering work of our members and the success of this chapter is highly depending on the willingness the participate in activities (i.e. plan and organize events, engage in PDA IGs, contribution to TRs, etc.) and to share industry expertise.
