International Graduate Student Conference on Pharmaceutical Sciences (IGSCPS) 2026

The Value Impact: Bridging Pharmaceutical Science and Clinical Practice for a Sustainable Global Future

Introduction

The Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Airlangga, proudly presents the International Graduate Student Conference on Pharmaceutical Sciences (IGSCPS) 2026, which will be held on 19 September 2026 at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Indonesia, in a hybrid format.

IGSCPS 2026 is an annual international forum where graduate students, researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals connect to share research, build global networks, and strengthen their readiness for future leadership in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.

Carrying the theme "The Value Impact: Bridging Pharmaceutical Science and Clinical Practice for a Sustainable Global Future," this conference responds to a rapidly changing landscape shaped by Pharmacy 4.0, digital health, artificial intelligence, and value-based healthcare. Participants are invited to explore how innovative science, economic evaluation, and sustainability can be integrated to deliver patient-centered, cost-effective, and SDG-aligned healthcare solutions.

The scientific program features distinguished speakers from leading universities and institutions across Asia and beyond, including Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Japan, and Indonesia and covers key areas such as pharmaceutical analysis and technology, clinical and community pharmacy, pharmacology and biomedical sciences, natural products and drug discovery, drug development and medicinal chemistry, cosmetics and cosmeceuticals, and complementary and alternative medicine.

Innovative formats, including rapid "Impact 180/360°" three-minute presentations, high-energy value debates on the economics of innovation and digital health, and SDG-focused networking and matchmaking sessions, are designed to help graduate students present the value of their work clearly, accelerate their path to publication, and contribute to sustainable, value-based global pharmacy practice.
