SCOPE

A growing number of drug delivery technologies have been approved by Regulatory Authorities
for routine clinical use and others are progressing through clinical trials as single agents or as
components of combination therapy regimes.

Novel carriers and synthetic technologies are being developed for different applications
ranging from macro- to nano-sized controlled drug delivery technologies. Ever more
sophisticated synthetic chemistry is leading to complex three dimensional polymeric
architectures, hybrid constructs and self-assembling micro and nano-sized particles. Many
carriers and hybrid systems are being developed as imaging agents and theranostics.

As clinical applications broaden to include treatments for infectious and inflammatory diseases,
tissue repair and regeneration (including cell therapy), and diseases of the ageing population.
Importance will be given to combination therapy and the key issues of the
manufacture/development process to achieve transfer from lab. to clinics.

The Xth Spanish-Portuguese Conference on Controlled Drug Delivery will provide:
 World renown scientists to share with us their recent research and vision for the future of
Controlled Drug Delivery Systems in the context of interdisciplinary research at the
interface of biology, chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences and medicine.
 The latest developments in polymer technology and the biological and clinical disciplines
relating to Controlled Drug Release.
 Industrial and medical progress in the transfer of Drug Delivery Technologies to Clinic.
 Finally, last but not least, this conference will provide an opportunity for the active
participation of young scientists. Young scientist will play an important role in this
conference through the ‘YOUNG SECTION’ of the Local chapter Hispano-Portuguese
from the Controlled Release Society. A number of travel grants will be available to
support their attendance.
Who should attend ? Academics active in, or recently joining the field of Controlled Drug
Delivery or Biomaterials. Industrialists, either active in the field, or
requiring an update/introduction of the current status of Drug Delivery
Technologies and issues relating successful translation from Lab to Clinic.
Post Doctoral Scientists and Postgraduate Students working in this
interdisciplinary field.

The CIPF is located next to the famous “Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias” in Valencia (see
http://www.cipf.es/Ubicacion/?lang=en for map)
By Air
Valencia International Airport is served by low cost airlines from most of European cities. Most
intercontinental flights arrive at Barcelona or Madrid in Spain and many other major European
cities.
Travel from the airport to Valencia city center takes ~ 20 min by taxi (costs 25-30€).
There is also an Aero-bus from the airport to city center (tickets: €2.50) and a direct underground
line connection to city center. The metro station is at the ground floor of the regional flights terminal
(tickets: €1.70) (see map at http://www.metrovalencia.com). The journey takes around 25 minutes.
Detailed information on travel to and airport can be found at http://www.valenciacityguide.com/tourist-information/transport/transport-from-the-airport-to-the-city.html.
Alicante International Airport is also served by many flights from most European cities including
low cost airlines such as bmibaby or Easyjet. A taxi from Alicante Airport to the Alicante train
station (costs ~25 €) where a Euromed train can be taken from Alicante to Valencia (cost. ~50 €
return, 1.45 hour trip)
Barcelona International Airport El Prat is also served by many flights from most European cities
including low cost airlines. A direct train can be taken from El Prat Airport to Barcelona Sans Train
station. From there the Euromed train can be taken from Barcelona to Valencia (Joaquín Sorolla
Station) (cost. ~70 € return, 3 hours trip)
By Train
There are trains every hour from Madrid (Ave from Atocha) or Barcelona (Euromed from Sans
Estació) Train Stations to Valencia Joaquín Sorolla Station. The journey time is 1.40 h from Madrid
and 3 h from Barcelona (it is highly recommended to book and buy your train tickets in advance,
electronic tickets available at http://www.renfe.es).
There are also trains every hour from Alicante train station to Valencia Estación del Norte (journey
time ~ 1.20 h).
