Academic Events

As a specialist scientific organisation, we hold many challenging events every year.

In a two-year cycle, the AGAH holds an acclaimed scientific congress in Germany, where relevant topics that interest our members are discussed – alternating with a scientific event with one of our partner organisations, AHPPI in UK, Bapu in Belgium or Association Française de Pharmacologie Translationelle (AFPT) -Le Club Phase I in France.

In addition, scientific workshops are held on special topics and there is a yearly national discussion round together with the BfArM, where mostly safety-relevant matters in early-phase clinical studies are discussed. The programme is rounded off with training courses, entitled Introductory or Applied Workshops for young scientists and a training programme specifically for study nurses.

Awards

Young scientists: Hans Günter Schäfer Award
Generous donations have enabled the Organizing Committee of the PK/PD Expert Meeting to reward outstanding contributions to the PK/PD field by young scientists with the Hans Günter Schäfer Award (cash amount of 1.000 € plus free meeting participation incl. travel expenses) issued in memory of the original initiator of the PK/PD Expert Meeting. The award is kindly sponsored by the Frankfurt Foundation Quality of Medicines and AGAH..
If you are a Doctorate student or young scientist (less than two years after PhD degree) and want to apply for this award, send your peer-reviewed, published manuscript as a pdf file to pkpd-awards[@]agah.eu. Manuscript submissions must be accompanied by a brief description (500 words maximum) of how your manuscript fits into the overall scientific context of the respective research area, with a specific focus on its innovation, methodology and clinical or in vivo relevance. Submission deadline: 1 February 2027. The winner will be announced on the website of the PK/PD Expert Meeting and will present their work as part of the main conference.

Master / Doctorate students: Best presentation award
Three young PK/PD scientists will be given the opportunity to give an oral presentation of their work (5 minutes) as part of the main conference. All invited presenters will participate free of charge (incl. accommodation). The best presenter will be honored and will receive the “Young Scientist Best Presentation Award” plus reimbursement of travel expenses. The award is kindly sponsored by AGAH.  
If you are a Master thesis or Doctorate student and want to apply for this award, send an abstract (500 words maximum) to pkpd-awards[@]agah.eu.
Submission deadline: 1 February 2027.
Three applicants will be selected and invited for presentation.

Application to both awards is possible. However, expectation is that a dedicated abstract is written for the ‘Best presentation award’, submission of one complete manuscript for both categories will not be accepted.
