First Summer School of the SMART Project
Consorzio per Valutazioni Biologiche e Farmacologiche with the University of Bari, Department of Pharmacy and the Gianni Benzi Pharmacological Research Foundation have promoted the SMART project - Small Medicines Advanced Research Training - funded by the European program H2020, whose purpose is to boost knowledge and exchange of expertise covering all aspects of pediatric studies from ethics to methodology, innovative studies such as modeling and extrapolation, the production of ad hoc pediatric formulations. SMART is a replicable and exportable interaction model, in which research, innovative enterprise and public administration work together to shape a smart development, sustainable and inclusive strategy to be applied to the development of pediatric medicines. SMART can benefit from the expertise of international experts from University College London and the University of Marseille. This was discussed in Bari during the scientific summer school scheduled from 19th to 23rd September, 2016.
