Industrial Pharmacy Section

Welcome to the IPS page of the FIP website. Founded in 1955, IPS is a medium size section within FIP, however an active one. Therefore we are always looking for new active members. If you are enthusiastic and have some time, send an e-mail to our secretary (info@industrialpharmacy.org) or to the president and we will discuss how you can participate.
