SUMMARY:Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases
DESCRIPTION:SMi’s 3rd Annual Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases Conference will be held October 21-22\, 2014 in London\, United Kingdom. \nThe Orphan Drugs market is set to rise as a result of pharmaceutical companies increasingly looking to orphan drugs as an essential revenue stream. As of January 2014\, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) lifted the restriction on providing fee reductions to large companies developing new orphan drugs and the Early Access to Medicines Scheme was introduced. Key implementation of this will be a factor into further commercialization and developments. \nWith collaboration being a key topic of discussion\, the conference will enable all those involved to discuss Market Access\, Pricing and Reimbursement\, Patient Engagement and Recruitment\, with an insight into Regulatory Requirements. \nSMi are providing a platform for all stakeholders\, inclusive of small biotechs\, pharmaceutical companies\, patient advocacy organizations\, researchers and regulators to share perspectives and expertise to drive the field of Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases forward. \nFeatured speakers at the event include: \n\nBertram Häussler\, Chairman of the Board of Management\, IGES Institut\nCamille Metais\, Associate Director\, Regulatory Affairs Manager\, Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc.\nChristopher Hart\, Information Practice Leader\, AstraZeneca\nDario DiSimone\, Sr. Director\, Head of Rare Disease Europe\, Pfizer\nDidier Caizergues\, Director\, Department of International Regulatory Affairs\, GENETHON\nDominic Nutt\, Director of Communications\, M&C Saatchi\nEmily Crossley\, Patient Representative\, Duchene Children’s Trust\nGunter Harms\, Market Access & Public Affairs Director\, Shire Pharmaceuticals\nIan Hudson\, CEO\, MHRA\nJosie Godfrey\, Associate Director\, Highly Specialized Technologies\, NICE\nProfessor Sir Peter Lachmann\, Emeritus Professor of Immunology\, University of Cambridge\nTim Miller\, President and CEO\, Abeona Therapeutics\nTony Hall\, Co-Founder\, Findacure Foundation\n\nPlease visit SMI’s Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases website for more information and to register. \nGlobal Biodefense is an official media partner of SMi’s Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases 2014 conference.

SUMMARY:IDDR 2014 - International Day for Disaster Reduction
DESCRIPTION:The International Day for Disaster Reduction (IDDR) 2014 is a day to celebrate how people and communities are reducing their risk to disasters and raising awareness about the importance of disaster risk reduction. \nThis year the focus of the International Day for Disaster Reduction is on older people\, including their needs and what they contribute to better planning and understanding of disaster risk in their communities. IDDR 2014 intends to switch on and amplify this critical issue now and for the post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction. \nThe International Day for Disaster Reduction started in 1989 with the approval by the United Nations General Assembly. The UN General Assembly sees the IDDR as a way to promote a global culture of disaster reduction\, including disaster prevention\, mitigation and preparedness. Originally celebrated on the second Wednesday of October (resolution 44/236\, 22 December 1989)\, the UN General Assembly decided to designate October 13th as the date to celebrate the IDDR (resolution 64/200\, 21 December 2009). \nPlease visit the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction website for more information and resources.
