AGAH - Events

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.

    Modular training course in Human Pharmacology-Module 3 (online and face to face)

    Digital Event & Face2Face  |  Nov 29 - Dec 9, 2024

    The German Association of Human Pharmacology (AGAH e.V.), the Association Francaise de Pharmacologie Translationelle (AFPT) in cooperation with the European Federation for Exploratory Medicines Development (EUFEMED) and its further Member Societies are developing a modular training course in Human Pharmacology, leading to qualifications at the certificate and diploma levels. The training courses are intended for physicians, biopharmaceutical scientists and healthcare professionals working in early phase clinical research and would also suit investigators intending to fulfil the role of Principal Investigator for First in Human (FIH) trials.

EUFEMED Workshop

Making the Investigator’s Brochure Truly Fit for Purpose in Early Medicines Development

Sep 20 - Sep 20, 2024  |  09:00 – 16:30
Program Information

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming EUFEMED workshop: "Making the Investigator’s Brochure Truly Fit for Purpose in Early Medicines Development".

September 20, 2024 (Friday), 9:00 am – 4:30 pm
Venue: University of Warsaw, Faculty of Applied Linguistics, Dobra 55, Warsaw, Poland.
Save the date and join us in the beautiful city of Warsaw this September. Bringing together expert practitioners from the Phase I community, the workshop will focus on how our collective insights can be utilized to make the Investigator’s Brochure truly fit for purpose.
The primary objective of this workshop is to enhance the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) process, ensuring it serves its true purpose in Phase 1 trials: enabling responsible investigators to conduct reliable benefit-risk assessments. Currently, as raised during our EUFEMED Conference in Berlin in May 2023, practices often reduce the IB to merely a Clinical Trial Authorization document, overlooking the Principal Investigators’ need for a thorough understanding of translational study results to effectively implement necessary risk mitigation steps

In this workshop, we aim to:

•    Create a more meaningful IB process focused on translational results interpretation.
•    Ensure investigator-centered presentation and decision-making.
•    Align with existing and upcoming international requirements

Join us to contribute to our discussions and help shape the future of early-phase trials.

6. Deutscher Kongress für Patientensicherheit bei medikamentöser Therapie

Erreichtes und Lösungen für den Aktionsplan zur Verbesserung der Arzneimitteltherapiesicherheit in Deutschland

Oct 24 - Oct 25, 2024
Program Information

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

vor mehr als 15 Jahren wurde der „Aktionsplan zur Verbesserung der Arzneimitteltherapiesicherheit in Deutschland“ vom Bundesministerium für Gesundheit ins Leben gerufen, um die folgenden Fragen zu analysieren: Wie gehen wir mit Fehlern um, wie können wir gemeinsam aus Fehlern lernen und vor allem – wie können wir Medikationsfehler künftig vermeiden, um die Arzneimitteltherapie für unsere Patientinnen und Patienten sicherer zu machen?

Seit dem letzten Kongress im Jahr 2018 hat sich viel ereignet, nicht nur im Bereich der Digitalisierung! Wir laden Sie herzlich ein, gemeinsam auf dem „6. Deutschen Kongress für Patientensicherheit bei medikamentöser Therapie“ einen Blick auf bereits Erreichtes zu werfen und Lösungsansätze für noch bestehende und zukünftige Herausforderungen aus multidisziplinärer Perspektive zu diskutieren.

Halten Sie sich den Termin schon jetzt frei – Wir freuen uns auf Sie!
