The importance of participating in the Brazilian Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Over the past years, Brazilian scientists in fields broadly related to Pharmaceutical Sciences have been discussing the need for an Association to strengthen their representation among funding agencies and policy makers. This need motivated the collaborative work of investigators of the field from all over the country to establish the Brazilian Association for Pharmaceutical Sciences (“Associacao Brasileira de Ciencias Farmaceuticas, ABCF”) in 2003, during the 4th International Congress of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Ribeirao Preto. Since then, members of ABCF have been investing their time and efforts towards the growth, recognition and consolidation of the Association.
