Annoucement
Pharmaceutical Information Group
During the Oslo Conference, 30 information specialists of the
pharmaceutical industries from 12 European countries decided to come
together to create a section of the European Association for Health
Information and Libraries (EAHIL) called "Pharmaceutical Information Group".
The first objective of the group will be to ensure a large coverage of
pharmaceutical industries information needs by EAHIL future activities,
mainly during the 1996 Conference in Coimbra, and in active collaboration
with the Newsletter; this is intended to increase the participation of
information specialists from pharmaceutical industries.
In broader perspective, the other objectives will be :
- To promote and develop access and spreading of pharmaceutical
information.
- To promote contacts between information specialists from pharmaceutical
industries in Europe, with the view to support exchange of ideas and
experience.
- To defend the interests of people from pharmaceutical industries in
Europe.
- To establish contacts between international and national sister
organisations.
One delegate for each country present was elected to establish contacts
with national sister organisations, or to create a national structure
where it did not exist.
Future elections will appoint members of the executive board.
As soon as the creation of the group has been approved by the Board of EAHIL
that meets in January, an annoucement will be mailed to all interested
people, describing affiliation modalities. Affiliation to EAHIL will be
required, but so far no additional fee has been planned.
