3. Mission, membership <strong>and</strong> operational platforms<br />
The mission of the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences (<strong>EUFEPS</strong>) is to serve<br />
<strong>and</strong> advance excellence in the pharmaceutical sciences <strong>and</strong> innovative drug research in<br />
Europe, including in training <strong>and</strong> education, <strong>and</strong> to represent the interests of scientists<br />
engaged in drug research <strong>and</strong> development, drug regulation, drug utilisation, <strong>and</strong> drug<br />
policy making.<br />
Member Societies, Member Institutions <strong>and</strong> Individual Members are <strong>EUFEPS</strong> membership<br />
categories.<br />
<strong>EUFEPS</strong> is the only pan-European body to represent the interests of scientists in industry,<br />
academia, government <strong>and</strong> other institutions engaged in drug research, development,<br />
regulation <strong>and</strong> policymaking through Europe. It is an organisation for <strong>and</strong> run by<br />
scientists, forming a wide-range network <strong>and</strong> actively contributing to the ideals of the<br />
European pharmaceutical scientific community. The recruitment of younger generations of<br />
pharmaceutical scientists for <strong>EUFEPS</strong> activities is another prime goal. As regional organisation<br />
<strong>EUFEPS</strong> is bridging between the national <strong>and</strong> the global levels.<br />
To achieve its objectives <strong>EUFEPS</strong> initiates <strong>and</strong> runs European projects <strong>and</strong> networks.<br />
It organises, co-organises <strong>and</strong> co-sponsors congresses, conferences, workshops <strong>and</strong><br />
courses on specialised or general themes, including many sessions in the Pharmaceutical<br />
Sciences Fair <strong>and</strong> Exhibition (PharmSciFair).<br />
The European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences is the Official Scientific Journal of<br />
<strong>EUFEPS</strong>.<br />
