Economic realities are making life difficult for researchers in the pharmaceutical space, reducing staff, squeezing budgets, and creating urgency for results. As a result, people engaged in pharmaceutical research are developing new, efficient ways to pool resources while individually reaping the benefits of collaborative research.

Your colleagues are some of the best minds in Pharmaceutical R&D. Yet, the vast majority of the best minds are still working outside of your company.

Pharmaceutical Research Collaborations Summit brings together leaders in the areas of R&D, Clinical Research, Business Development, and Technology Transfer. You will:

• Hear and evaluate how different partnership structures have benefited all the stakeholders
• Learn how pharma companies funnel more money to core research competencies by sharing corollary functions such as IT in pre-competitive cooperative groups
• Anticipate tensions and problems areas before beginning research projects that integrate organizations with different research procedures and goals, such as universities and big pharmaceutical R&D departments
• Ensure that you are ready to benefit from outside discoveries before your competition does
• See how leading pharmaceutical companies identify external technologies that can fill gaps in their pipeline development needs

Collaborations are the future of R&D because they give researchers access to the best minds outside of your company.
