Overview:
Affordable medicine is a grand challenge of our time.
OSP3 will be a singular gathering of researchers, entrepreneurs, industry professionals, funders and NGOs and who want to achieve radical improvements in the way we deliver therapeutics to market in the 21st century.
Open source brings the promise of efficient, robust and inclusive routes to discovery. While great progress has been made in opening up the discovery and development of new medicines, there remain major barriers to open source medicines reaching patients. Our task in this meeting is to learn about and spark new initiatives, to understand the main challenges together and to propose new, realistic solutions for implementation.
