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 1000 EUR 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.
If you are a Doctorate student or young scientist (<2 years after PhD degree) and want to apply for this award, send your peer-reviewed, published manuscript as a pdf file to Joachim Höchel - joachim.hoechel[@]bayer.com. 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: 28 February 2025; applicant notification by 14 April 2025. 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 min) 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.
If you are a Master thesis or Doctorate student and want to apply for this award, send an abstract (500 words maximum) to Joachim Höchel - joachim.hoechel[@]bayer.com.

CTIS-im Anwendungsalltag- Stolperfallen und Stellschrauben aus praktischer Sicht CTIS in daily business- points to consider from practical point of view

Jun 25 - Jun 25, 2025  |  17:30 – 19:00
Program Information

CTIS, die europäische Plattform zur Genehmigung klinischer Prüfungen im dritten Jahr. Wir laden unsere Mitglieder und andere Interessierte ein, mit uns darüber zu diskutieren. Die ersten CTIS-Erfahrungen hat jeder schon gemacht. Unsere Referentin Maria Anschütz bringt mehr als erste Erfahrungen mit. Sie hat mit @SocraTec bereits an den User-Acceptance-Tests vor der Live-Schaltung der Plattform mitgewirkt und arbeitet seitdem täglich damit – CTIS in daily business.

Wir wollen auf mögliche Stolperfallen und auch Stellschrauben blicken, um den Ablauf der Studiengenehmigung wunschgemäß zu organisieren. Darüber hinaus sollen auch die Herausforderungen, denen sich Sponsoren und die ausführenden Studienzentren stellen, Beachtung finden. Wie wird CTIS von den verschiedenen Akteuren wahrgenommen?

In einem Impulsvortrag wird Maria Anschütz Ihre Erfahrungen mit CTIS und dem Einholen von Studien-Genehmigungen teilen und anschließend gerne Fragen aus Ihrer täglichen Praxis beantworten. Gemeinsam diskutieren wir the best practice.

Referentin: Maria Anschütz, SocraTec GmbH
