What is the FIP Academic Institutional Membership?

The FIP Academic Institutional Membership, or FIP AIM, is a Membership that allows Faculties and Schools of Pharmacy to become inter-connected on a global platform of discussion, leadership and shared challenges and successes. The FIP AIM focuses on the parallel evolution of Faculties and Schools of Pharmacy alongside the ongoing changes in pharmacy practice, science, research and their respective funding. All Faculties and Schools of Pharmacy from around the world are welcome to apply for a FIP AIM. These Academic Institutes are represented by their Deans, Vice Deans and other Decision Makers within the Membership activities such as online discussion platforms and the annual International Dean’s Forum at the FIP Congress. 

Join us at the Global Dean's Forum at the FIP Congress

Each year at the  FIP World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences , the FIP AIM hosts a Dean’s Forum, inviting all representative Deans from the Faculties and Schools within the Membership to meet each other and discuss current and relevant topics in an international arena. Expert Speakers from around the world as well as innovative interactive opportunities are featured over the 2-day event. 

After very successful Deans Forums in Lisbon in 2010 and Hyderabad in 2011 - hosting more than 60 Deans from around the world - FIP is pleased to announce the 3rd Global Deans Forum at the 2012 FIP Centennial Congress. A programme committee consisting of a global representation from renowned Universities and Pharmacy Education institutes are preparing  a diverse and stimulating programme that will provide all in attendance a unique and enriching opportunity.

This year  the Global Dean’s Forum will take place between 3-4 September 2012 and also extend to other Sessions and Events throughout this once-in-a-lifetime Centennial Congress, including networking social events, completing a comprehensive programme in the charming city of Amsterdam. 

The full Dean’s Programme (including the Dean’s Forum, speakers and special events) for the FIP Centennial Congress will soon be available on the AIM website – check back for the most current updates!
