On July 5-6, 2023, at the Congress and Didactic Center, a scientific conference will be held summarizing the activities of the five-year ORBIS (Open Research Biopharmaceutical Internships Support) project, which received funding of EUR 2.27 million under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions of the Horizon 2020 framework program (H2020-MSCA-RISE, no. 778051).

The coordinator of this international and cross-sectoral project with 14 academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies from 8 countries is the Poznan University of Medical Sciences. The goal of ORBIS was and is research and training cooperation between universities and the industry sector to develop better, more effective, modern drugs. These ideas were implemented by ORBIS through international internships of scientists to partner institutions (for a considerable number of 459 months in total).

The Final ORBIS Conference will be an opportunity to celebrate this success - all the more so as the project implementation period coincided with previously unimaginable obstacles in the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine. During the conference, renowned scientists from European and American centres will give plenary lectures on the most current topics of modern pharmaceutical sciences. There will also be speeches presenting the scientific effects of completed internships, delivered by Poznan researchers and project consortium representatives from the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Germany, Finland, Ireland, Slovenia and the United States.
