BPS Annual Meeting - Call for Symposia, Workshop and Debates proposals 

 
The British Pharmacological Society's Meetings Committee is seeking symposia, workshop and debate proposals for Pharmacology 2024, which will be held from Tuesday 10th to Thursday 12th December 2024 at the Harrogate Convention Centre.  

 
The deadline for proposals is Tuesday 6 February 2024, 3pm GMT.  

Although all proposals will be given full consideration this year, we would particularly welcome proposals in the following hot topics: 

• Artificial Intelligence in:
  • Drug Discovery
  • Clinical Pharmacology
  • Drug re-purposing
  • Drug interactions
• New drug modalities e.g.:
  • Gene Therapy
  • RNA
  • Antibody
  • PROTACs
• New Approaches to Mental Health Disorders
• Sustainable Medicines and Climate emergency

We also encourage submission of proposals that build on this year’s Prize Lectures, which will be announced in December 2023.

All proposals will be considered by the BPS Meetings Committee, who will pay particular attention to the following: 

• Content that would have broad appeal across the BPS membership, attract non-members to attend, and encourage exhibitors to the conference. 
• Inclusion of talks that present a broad overview across the drug discovery pathway (i.e. pre-clinical, clinical and industrial perspectives) 
• Inclusion of both high-profile prominent speakers and outstanding early career researchers 
• Submission of sponsors who have agreed to support speaker costs. 

Please read through the following guidelines before beginning the submission process.  If you have any queries, contact meetings@bps.ac.uk.
