Pharmaceutical Supply Chains II

A summer Training School on "Medicines Shortages" (COST Action CA15105) addressing Pharmaceutical Supply Chains (SC) is to be held at Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre (IPP). Teachers, researchers, MSc/PhD students and practitioners will meet at Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão (ESTG/IPP), Portalegre, Portugal, 03-07 July-2017, to discuss MORE ADVANCED TOPICS on Pharmaceutical SC within the COST Action "Medicines Shortages" (CA15105) , European Medicines Shortages Research Network - addressing supply problems to patients.

 

AGENDA Day-By-Day

 

The program includes a SEMINAR open to the general public in the very first day (03-July-2017). The purpose of the seminar is to introduce the Training School, its aims, the programme, give insight on Pharmaceutical SC, foster interchange among senior researchers, post-docs, MSc./PhD. students, promote discussion, and to stimulate new ideas among the participants.

 

 Technical sessions on Pharmaceutical SC:
(1) Design, planning, and scheduling; Uncertainty and risk;
(2) MCDM, Suppliers Selection, supplies and shortages;
(3) DSS and computational issues.
(4) LAB-session: "hands-on" training using advanced computational tools and case studies.

 

A fully follow up of the 5-days is strongly recommended for those participants interested in "Medicines Shortages" and in Pharmaceutical SC. However, attending either the seminar-day, the workshop, or only one of the technical sessions can be allowed upon registration.
