With support from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Food and Drug Administration of Chinese Taipei will host the “2011 APEC Good Review Practice Workshop on Medical Products” in Taipei on October 11-15, 2011. This workshop is one of the major harmonization efforts of APEC Life Sciences Innovation Forum (LSIF). The goal of the workshop is to initiate and facilitate dialogues on topics of good review practices for pharmaceuticals and medical devices and enhance good regulatory practices in APEC economies. We would like to invite all APEC economies to assign representatives from regulatory authorities to attend this important workshop. Representatives from regulatory authorities who hold influential roles in the regulatory management are encouraged to attend this workshop. We also invite representatives other than regulatory authorities to participate in the program for the joint 9th Conference of APEC Network on Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science on October 15, 2011 which will be the only day open to industry, academia and the public. Registration for the workshop on Oct. 11-14, 2011 is limited to regulatory authorities. The conference on Oct. 15, 2011 is open to the public and attendees may register online at www.cde.org.tw/apec. We would be very pleased and honoured if you could send representatives to attend this workshop.
