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 a very successful first edition in Lisbon - hosting more than 40 Deans from around the world - FIP is pleased to announce the 2nd Global Deans Forum at the 2011 Congress. A programme committee consisting of a global representation from renowned Universities and Pharmacy Education institutes have prepared a diverse 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 2010 and also extend to other Sessions and Events throughout the Congress, such as the Global Consultation for Pharmacy Education and networking social events, completing a comprehensive programme in the city of Hyderabad, India.
