Collaborations & Licensing in the Pharma & Biotech Industries
29 June - 30 June 2005
Collaborations & Licensing in the Pharma & Biotech Industries
Licensing is playing an increasing role in the business model of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In 2003, 24.4% of the sales of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies were derived from in-licensed drugs. In response, licensing has moved away from its roots as a transaction for intellectual property rights, emerging as a key value driver. Industry leaders now recognise licensing as a strategic mechanism through which they can achieve their corporate objectives

SAE Media Group's 3rd Annual Collaborations and Licensing in the Pharma & Biotech Industries Conference will provide attendees with an overview of the market including strategic partnerships in biotechnology supported by an analysis of recent deal case studies. The conference aims to cover topical issues including the CRO/Pharma collaborations - what can pharma companies learn from CROs? Out-licensing activities of big pharma companies - what is for sale? How venture capitalist knowledge systems are used to assist the licensing process and their role in bringing new drugs to market.

"A must attend event complete with leading industry experts in the field discussing the latest tools and ideas to enhance your deal-making process"

Gain an insight from the key industry leaders in the field including:

Dr Ray Hill, Executive Director, Licensing & External Research, Merck
Dr Mark Rogers, Director, Licensing & Development, Pfizer
Dr Jürgen Heitmann, Senior Manager, Out-Licensing & Partnering, Novartis
Associate Professor Brita Sjöström, Vice President, Contract Sales, Biovitrum

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
