Join Nicoya and Applied Photophysics at ELRIG 2025!
ELRIG’s Drug Discovery conference returns to the city of Liverpool, reaffirming its status as Europe’s leading event for Drug Discovery and Life Sciences. This year’s program will feature scientific tracks covering a range of critical topics, including Translating Ideas into Therapies, Chemical Biology and Omics, and Advanced Models for Drug Discovery.
The conference will showcase scientific content from esteemed partners such as SLAS, the British Pharmacological Society, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. A key highlight of this life sciences gathering is the exhibition hall, where attendees can engage with industry leaders in drug discovery and explore innovations from leading product suppliers.
Committed to accessibility and inclusivity, ELRIG ensures that all events remain free to attend. Additionally, facilities such as a prayer room, family room, and quiet room are provided to support attendees, reinforcing the organization's dedication to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.
