SPECIAL SYMPOSIUM

Following a decennial tradition, FIP is proud to sponsor this symposium celebrating the 50 Years of Progress in the Pharmaceutical Sciences in honor of the Chair of the first PSWC Congress, Professor Leslie Z. Benet. As at Les Benet’s 50^th, 60^thand 70.5 birthday symposia, leading scientists in our discipline will highlight the remarkable progress at the cutting edge of the science that we have observed over the past 50 years in our field. A celebratory banquet on Saturday evening will be held at the Scandic hotel with a separate registration (19:00, Scandic Hotel, Third Floor)
