Pharmaceutical sciences and the special interest groups

FIP advances pharmaceutical sciences on a global level as one of its three pillars. This work is led by six special interest groups (SIGs) to help FIP and its member organisations achieve this ambitious goal.

All individual FIP members can choose to be a member of a SIG. Here, members can interact with peers and colleagues with similar interests from all over the world, both virtual and in-person (such as at the annual FIP World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences).

The SIGs are:

Initiatives and activities

Many of FIP’s initiatives and activities are designed to advance pharmaceutical science through dynamic knowledge exchange and global engagement. These include digital events featuring leading experts, a regular scientific newsletter that highlight emerging research and opportunities, and publications that disseminate cutting-edge research advancing knowledge and improving patient outcomes. FIP is committed to foster collaboration, ensuring science can inform practice, and supporting the growth of a vibrant scientific community within FIP.
