Events
The Young Scientist Committee (YSC) strives to provide students, early career scientists and professionals, cutting edge information and opinion on the delivery of bioactives via a series of events:
- Workshops (more below)
- Roundtable Session (more below)
- Networking Socials
Workshops
The workshops are based on a full day or half-day format and take place either on the Saturday and/or Sunday morning before the official start of the CRS Annual Meeting and Exposition.
Typically, they start with a theoretical introduction to the scientific area, followed by several lectures designed to explore various aspects in greater detail or to highlight established and/or new technologies in the field. They may also touch on analytical, regulatory or patenting aspects of drug delivery system development.
Examples of scientific workshops organized by the Young Scientist Committee include “Patents” (2009), “Microencapsulation” (2009), “Poorly Solubles ” (2010), and “True Stories” Career Development (2010).
Roundtable Session
This is a relative new format which can take different forms depending whether it is applied to scientific subjects or career-development ones.
The common theme is a focus on discussion and audience participation as opposed to passive listening.
In Portland 2010, the Roundtable on Ocular Delivery provoked a lively discussion on the unmet needs of patients with chronic diseases of the eye and the challenges of delivering drugs to the ocular region. Click here for details.
Networking Socials
Social events held during the Annual Meeting are a great opportunity to meet and network with colleagues in individual areas of research.
