IDIAPJGol was represented at the mid-term symposium of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP), held in Hatfield (United Kingdom) on 9 and 10 June 2026. The event brought together researchers and healthcare professionals to discuss the future of drug safety in a context where data are playing an increasingly important role.
Representing IDIAPJGol were researchers from the Cross-Cutting Research Unit, Felipe Villalobos, the Institute’s Commissioner for Internationalisation and Secretary General of ISoP, and Martín Solórzano, a member of the ISoP European Chapter Steering Committee. Both researchers addressed issues related to collaboration among the different stakeholders involved in medicine safety, governance, and the use of real-world evidence in pharmacovigilance.
During the symposium, Villalobos led a workshop dedicated to integrating real-world evidence into pharmacovigilance workflows. The session explored how data generated through routine clinical practice can contribute to medicine safety monitoring and support regulatory decision-making.
Meanwhile, Solórzano highlighted the initiatives currently being undertaken by the European Chapter to strengthen governance, increase member engagement, and expand the role of this ISoP section as a platform for collaboration and professional development in the field of pharmacovigilance across Europe.
