Outsourcing Agrochemical Development Programmes
This half-day Seminar to be held on the afternoon of Tuesday 1 November is a stand-alone event running alongside the Congress.
Consolidation of R&D-based agrochemical companies, rationalisation of their in-house facilities and the increase in generic product manufacturers have all significantly increased the outsourcing of scientific and regulatory services to Contract Research Organisations (CROs). This seminar will explore the rapidly changing drivers and needs of this outsourcing activity, and the strategies and processes being employed by both customer and supplier organisations to meet the demands of the 21st century business and regulatory environment.
The Seminar will benefit attendees from both large and small producer and service provider companies, particularly those seeking to understand better the issues involved in the contracting of development and regulatory activities.
