This includes a regulatory viewpoint.

The attendees shall receive insights into

  • To what extent are these technologies feasible today and ready to be used?
  • What is possible today with respect to pharma applications?
  • Where are the limitations, if any, and what are they?
  • What shall be considered when starting a project today?
  • The workshop includes lectures as well as hands-on training by mock ups and live activities presented in the exhibition hall.

This workshop serves as an initial introduction and includes some hands-on learning opportunities while focusing on personal exchange amongst all attendees and speakers.
