We are looking forward to welcoming you in Uppsala, Sweden in July 2025 for the 2025 ISPE EuroDURG Conference “Bridging Data, Policy & Patients in Drug Utilization Research”. The Conference, which will be held from 1-4 July 2025, offers a rich scientific programme which covers a variety of topics addressed through Drug Utilization Research. These range from important core areas such as adherence, polypharmacy, safety and drug utilization in specific populations (e.g., pregnant women, children and elderly people) and specific therapeutic areas (e.g., psychiatry and cancer) to policy-related aspects, including accessibility of medicines, medicine shortages and pricing, as well as research in novel fields, e.g., digitalization and artificial intelligence, drugs in the environment and crisis preparedness.
The European Drug Utilization Research group (EuroDURG) is the European chapter of ISPE’s SIG for Drug Utilization and Health Services Research. EuroDURG has had a long tradtion of arranging European meetings. Building on these experiences, the 2025 EuroDURG conference programme provides inspiring keynote talks, interesting presentations, a diversity of posters, interactive workshops and room for an exchange of ideas and knowledge. The 3-day scientific programme is preceded by a day of satellite programme and educational sessions. An accompanying dynamic social programme allows participants to meet and discuss with others in the wonderful and vibrant environment of the university town of Uppsala.
