NMA Best Practices

Interested in learning about the pharmaceutical industry in other parts of the world? IFAPP’s NMAs and Individual Affiliates (see below) can write and inform us about their experience and share best practices.

IFAPP will be delighted to receive news and updates from NMAs from around the world to exchange experiences and information from their respective countries. For posting such information, please get in touch with secretariat@ifapp.org. Such information will then be posted in News & Posts and in the IFAPP Newsletter “IFAPP TODAY“.

Individual Affiliates

In addition to NMAs IFAPP is represented by Individual Affiliates in the following countries:

Australia, Brazil, Germany, Nigeria, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, UK and USA.

IFAPP values global networking and is keen to learn about innovative and best practices. IFAPP looks forward to receiving applications from colleagues to become Individual Affiliates.

Individual membership is open to all those who wish to be part of and contribute to the international community of Pharmaceutical Medicine and drug development sciences.

You may choose to become an Individual Affiliate in addition to your membership in your NMA as that would enable you to vote at General Assembly meetings (but not at the House of Delegates meetings which you could not do as a member of an NMA unless you are the national delegate in the House of Delegates).

As an Individual Affiliate you can also be elected to the Board of Directors.

The annual fee of individual IFAPP membership is 30 Euro for those residing in Europe and 30 USD for those residing in other parts of the world.

To learn more about the process involved in becoming an individual IFAPP member, you may also request our Standard Operating Procedure for Individual Affiliation.

To apply for membership, please fill in the Application to become an Individual Affiliate and email it together with a copy of your Curriculum Vitae to the IFAPP secretariat (secretariat@ifapp.org).

We look forward to working with you!
