2023 UKICRS Virtual Seminar

Are you busy on 8th November between 2-5pm? ...well maybe we can fill that gap in your diary with an interesting, fun and free (not a typo!) event.

Whether you're a member of UKICRS
 or not, irrespective of career stage, no matter your knowledge on the topic – if you have an interest in pharmaceutical sciences and drug delivery, we'd love you to join us on the 8th November for five presentations on a range of topics...followed by some fun in an online quiz. This includes presentations from three of the poster prize winners from the annual UKICRS symposium that was held in London in June.

Registration for the event is free and it will be hosted using that free video calling software that has become familiar to all of us in recent years.
​
The information you need is available below.

Who should attend?

The Seminar is primarily aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral research fellows, industrialists and academics working in the fields of pharmaceutical sciences and drug delivery.

Venue

The Seminar will be held online via Zoom. Information on installing and using Zoom is provided at the bottom of this page.
