Thank you for connecting with the PDA Ireland Chapter.
The mission of PDA is to promote the exchange of rapidly evolving information on the latest technology and regulations.
As a registered non-profit affiliate of PDA International, PDA Ireland aims to deliver on this mission by:
- Providing events and processes to facilitate the sharing of best practices, technologies, and regulations to meet the tactical and strategic needs of you, our members.
- Facilitating collaboration with regulators and other representative bodies to achieve alignment and cohesiveness across the industry.
- Providing a great networking opportunity for you, our members, to connect with like-minded professionals, subject matter experts, and regulators.
- Serving as a networking forum for manufacturers, young professionals, academia, and service providers engaged in the pharmaceutical/ biopharmaceutical industry in Ireland.
Our activities are delivered voluntarily. Our success depends on the willingness of our volunteers to share experiences, plan and organize events, engage in PDA interest groups, or contribute to future technical reports.
Continuing to build our membership is key to enabling us to achieve our goals. We all face similar opportunities and challenges in our professional lives; our chapter network can strengthen our ability to face these with confidence.
