GaBI Educational Forum

GaBI Educational Forum aims to enhance the knowledge on and understanding of key issues relating to regulatory approval and quality assessment of and good manufacturing practice for biologicals/biosimilars, as well as associated topics such as good manufacturing practices, clinical trials, interchangeability, pharmacovigilance, registries in biologicals/biosimilars.

The events are organized in collaboration with either the regulatory authority or reputable academic institution for regulators, academics, medical practitioners/specialists and health system stakeholders from different countries and regions.

To further share information and expertise, all speakers’ presentations are available online, and the meeting report of each event is published in GaBI Journal to document the discussions and learning.

By end of 2021, the GaBI Educational Forum has provided a productive and open learning environment in 12 countries over three continents to 897 key participants from 38 countries on focus key topics of biologicals/biosimilars, offering a discussion forum for national, regional and international colleagues to explore ways to communicate the biosimilars concept to physicians and patients.

Virtual educational workshops/scientific meetings/conferences for clinicians/physicians, academics, regulators and other stakeholders on nomenclature of biologicals, regulatory standards on biosimilars, non-medical switching, success factors of biosimilars uptake are being delivered in 2022.

Upcoming webinars on 1) ophthalmic biosimilars; 2) regulatory considerations, pharmacovigilance, switching/interchangeability for healthcare professionals in Argentina, plus more are planned for 2022. Contact us for more information.

Educational Workshops

GaBI educational workshops aim to provide training opportunities in focus topics identified by members of the journal editorial boards, reflecting the current educational needs of the target audience. Workshop topics in areas such as bioequivalence methodology, biopharmaceutical production, quality evaluation in general and generic drug evaluation in particular health economics, drug substitution issues and risk management programmes. GaBI educational workshops are delivered by recognized experts and are open to an international audience to promote common understanding and practical approach on the issues discussed in view of the GaBI mission: building trust in cost-effective treatments.

By end of 2021, GaBI has delivered 12 educational workshops in Belgium, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam and UAE.

If you have any suggestions on generics and biosimilars scientific developments with appealing topics for an educational workshop, please contact us for further discussion.
