The 1st European Controlled Substance Compliance & Shipping Conference will be held in-person on the 2nd and 3rd of October 2025 at the Novartis Campus, Fabrikstrasse 2, 4056 Basel, Switzerland.
The Conference focuses on topics associated with controlled substance, chemical precursor and shipping. It provides a platform for the industry to have direct dialogues with government agencies on regulations and trends and potential opportunities to collaborate. This conference also focuses on best practices sharing and discussions on topics that benefit all attendees.
- Controlled Substance and Chemical Precursor Compliance. Remaining compliant in this environment is an ever-growing challenge, and consequences for breaches are severe. High levels of compliance are vital to the credibility of and public trust in life science R&D. Understanding the difference in regulations with using controlled substances in clinical trials vs. commercial distribution remains a challenge to the industry.
- Shipping: Cross-Border Shipping legislation is also a very dynamic environment and ties in very closely with aspects of Controlled Substance logistics and Chemical compound shipments. The pharma industry must ensure shipments are fully compliant with all national and international requirements. There is no leeway in making mistakes as delayed or rejected shipments could have a tremendous negative impact on pharmaceutical development timelines.
Speakers from: INCB, EUDA, Swissmedic, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, Clarivate, Novartis, Pfizer, Scitegrity, Chemaxon, and other companies.
