Official Launch of the Solid State Pharmaceutical Cluster.
University of Limerick
July 4th 2008
Computer Sciences Building (CSG01) On Friday the July 4th, 2008, the Solid State Pharmaceuticals Cluster was officially launched in the Computer Sciences Building on the grounds of the University of Limerick. This was attended by members from industry and academia. It was seen as an opportunity to bring members of industry and academia together and outline the ideas and proposals which the Solid State Pharmaceutical Cluster will be undertaking.
The invited speakers were taken from universities in Europe and the U.K. Each gave a 45 minute talk on their area of expertise, followed by questions.
Below is the table of themes and speakers from the first technical meeting. Following on from that is a table of attendees and a table of those who were unable to attend and sent their regards.
