The ISPE evening is a good base to give juniors a good view on how the industry works. It was a very nice experience as a discussion lead. Hope to see some people I have met in the industry later on!

On the evening of the 1st of June, I had the pleasure to attend the ISPE meeting related to career opportunities related to production, QA, QC and project management in the biopharmaceutical industry. This speeddate session, hosted by the ISPE, was a great opportunity to learn more about the job opportunities and career paths in the highly technological world of drug manufacturing! I mostly liked the chance to receive insights from people working in these positions on a daily basis; this provided the opportunity to ask all questions which came to mind. Due to the efforts of the various ISPE members giving up their free evening to share their passion with us, I have a very clear picture of what the work entails. For this I am very grateful and I would like to take this opportunity again to thank everyone involved in hosting this session!

I was introduced to ISPE NL Emerging Leaders by Natalia Vtyurina. Since then, I joined several events, including the latest career workshop. I enjoyed knowing new people with different backgrounds but with similar passions and interests in their careers. The career workshop was very highlighting and there we were able to speak and ask questions to the already succeeded professionals in the pharma industry. I would recommend to emerging leaders to join the next ISPE NL local events because this is a great opportunity to learn insights about each of your career steps and to build a valuable social network.

I had the pleasure of participating to the ISPE workshop (please complete with the most accurate definition) held in Leiden to discuss some of today’s and tomorrow’s main topics for the pharmaceutical sector, with a new generation of tomorrow’s leaders. Well organised in a wonderful and accessible location in the city centre, the workshop has attracted numerous young talents that brought refreshing new perspectives and opinions. As discussion lead for Good Automated Manufacturing Practices, I initially guided the discussion on the current industry standard practices and compliance aspects of automation in the pharma sector, but quickly it developed through the numerous stimulating questions received. The approach chosen for the workshop really allowed for a dynamic interaction among attendees, leading to an open and interesting discussion on the prospects and possibilities for automation and digitalisation in the coming years. My pleasure and my thank you to the organisers, for the great event and for having me experience it.

The event, to me, was a great success, with a large turnout of interested participants. A clear introduction was given of what was to be expected of the participants and the speakers. The questions that were put to me, as a QA speaker, were substantive and goal-oriented, and the answers were eagerly sought after. One downside was the short timeframe given per session, not all participants were able to ask their questions.
