It is noteworthy to point out that this is the first time since 1992 that the RICT are organised in Toulouse. In that respect the event is particularly important for the City and Metropole of Toulouse, but also for the Region Languedoc Roussillon Midi-Pyrénées and all partners from University, CNRS, INSERM, pharmaceutical companies and others. With the emergence of Oncopôle Toulouse and important Regional scientific platforms like GALA, PICT, Metabolomics, Toulouse White Biotechnology, new opportunities and new partnerships are emerging in the domain of Chemistry/Biology/Health, based on the exceptional expertise and knowledge of Toulouse’s laboratories of the academic and private sector.
RICT 2017 will greatly contribute to a higher visibility of the Region towards the new challenges and thus, help to structure and strengthen the Research, Innovation and Development in the domain of “Drug Discovery and Selection”.
Furthermore, RICT 2017 have received the label of the EuroScience Open Forum “ESOF 2018 - Toulouse European City of Science”.
