About the Japan Pharmaceutical Group Academic Conference

Since 2016, Japan Pharmaceutical Company has been hosting internal academic conferences annually. These conferences allow employees to share the findings and initiatives they discover during their routine operations. The primary goals are to enhance professionalism and presentation skills among healthcare professionals, as well as to cultivate an atmosphere where staff can engage in oral presentations and submit research papers through a robust educational framework recognized within the industry. The organization believes that sharing and improving upon their daily contributions leads to a better impact on patients and society.

A Look Back at the 2025 Conference

The 2026 academic conference's theme, "Advancing Pharmacies - Beyond the Pharmacy," will be presented in a hybrid format, combining both in-person and online participation. However, external attendees will only be permitted to join onsite due to the ongoing concerns regarding COVID-19, resuming after a seven-year hiatus.

General presentations will feature 19 selected oral presentations from regional competitions and 13 poster presentations chosen based on internal criteria. There will also be special lectures and booth exhibits from employees in indirect departments and group companies. Notably, Professor Hiroshi Okada from Kyoto University, a leading figure in research on health support in pharmacies, will deliver the keynote address.
