On behalf of the Scientific and Local Organising Committees we extend a warm welcome to Szeged, Hungary for the EuroDURG Scientific Meeting. Our conference theme is Medicines: benefits and burdens and we will be exploring the policy and practice response to current and evolving therapies.
The European Branch of the ISPE Special Interest Group for Drug Utilisation Research has designed an attractive, interactive educational and scientific programme reaching out to our networks both in Europe and internationally. We start with a half day of educational sessions, building on our successful summer school in June 2019, followed by a dynamic range of plenary sessions on: multimorbidity and the evolving challenge of polypharmacy; innovative medicines; emerging data capabilities and antimicrobial resistance – a One Health Approach. These will be interspersed with workshops, seminars, poster walks and thematic sessions to allow our community to engage, develop and test our evolving DUR trajectory to improve the real world use of medicines.
We hope you will join us in lively discussions throughout the meeting. Our tradition has been to combine great scientific content with social events to support networking, meeting new colleagues / old friends and experience a bit of the local country culture.
