Dr. habil Przemysław Dorożyński from the Department of Drug Technology and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, chairman of the scientific committee of the conference, when asked about the topic of the symposium, said: -Synergy is the mutual influence of various factors generating an effect much greater than the sum of each of them. This should be the case both in the areas of cooperation between various fields of science, and between the pharmaceutical industry and university entities. The formula of the conference may become the first step to future success in drug science research, creating broad multidisciplinary research teams or sharing knowledge and competence resources.
The conference consisted of lectures by over 20 speakers from renowned academic centers, including Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Canada, the United States and Poland (https://accord.wum.edu.pl/keynote-speakers/), opinion-forming discussion panels with the participation of outstanding scientists and short oral sessions presenting the scientific achievements of young researchers, as well as an expo zone.
