Companies Forum
an opportunity to network and collaborATE
CRDN Companies Forum meetings welcome representatives from pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare companies operating in the rare disease space who are interested in understanding the regulatory environment for orphan medicinal products and working collaboratively on projects.
Meetings are conducted under Chatham House Rules and held three times a year. Content for discussion is agreed amongst the group and high calibre speakers sourced by CRDN.
