OSP3 - PARIS 2019
The 3rd Open Source Pharma Conference Science, License, Community Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity (CRI) March 21st, 2pm CET - March 23rd, 11:30am CET University of Paris, France |
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. This meeting follows the 1st OSP conference, which took place at the Bellagio Center, Lake Como, Italy in 2014, and the second, which took place at Castle Rauischholzhausen, Marburg, Germany in 2015. Partners and sponsors have included The Rockefeller Foundation, Open Society Foundations and Tata Trusts. The OSP3 meeting is sponsored by CRI Research.
