Dear NMusers,
We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming fourth *Educational Pharmacometrics Summer Symposium *(EPSS), which will be held on *3 June 2025*, close to the PAGE venue (here <https://www.google.com/maps/place/Makedonia+Palace+Hotel,+member+of+WorldHotels+Luxury/@40.6184892,22.9503546,17z/data=!4m10!3m9!1s0x14a8391e07b9e837:0xe90875eade4f6b07!5m3!1s2025-03-09!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d40.6184892!4d22.9529295!16s%2Fm%2F02pncfs?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D> ). This one-day symposium will bring together experts and professionals in the field of pharmacometrics (PMx) to give an overview of *what PMx is* and *how it can contribute to model-informed drug development and therapy individualisation* (programme <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dc5AZKIH2aB3s8_P_5A40k_aysGNWniT/view?usp=sharing> ). In short, the symposium will begin with a brief introduction to PMx, followed by a discussion on the use of PMx in drug development, covering preclinical and clinical applications. After lunch and networking, the use of PMx to optimise and personalise treatment will be presented, followed by PMx case studies, which will be based on submitted student abstracts. The symposium will conclude with a short group work session. With speakers from academia, pharmaceutical industry, consultancy and regulatory authorities, this event covers a broad range of PMx roles and may also be a great opportunity for those looking for the next step in their career development. The symposium is *intended for* students from all natural sciences (Master and PhD), postdocs, and others with an interest in pharmacometrics, such as, clinical pharmacists, clinicians, mathematicians, statisticians, or colleagues from industry. Students or postdocs/trainees may *apply to present their original PMx-related work* as a part of the symposium (submitted abstract should not exceed 4,500 characters, including spaces, and may be the same as for the PAGE meeting); *abstract submission deadline is 4 May 2025*. The participation is *free, but registration is required:* link <https://forms.gle/EYVFzoR1RxQ7SBJZ7> (open *until 4 May 2025*). Light lunch will be provided. *Based on last years’ positive feedback, register early to avoid missing out*. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact us at 4thepss2...@gmail.com. Best wishes, EPSS 2025 organisers: Eva Germovsek (Boehringer Ingelheim), Jurij Aguiar Zdovc (Pharmetheus), Anastasia Tsyplakova (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens)
