OSP1 · 2014
Toward a New, Open Source Pharmaceutical Industry
The first-ever global conference on open source pharma, where the movement's players met, formed a community, and forged alliances.
OSP1 was convened to launch concrete initiatives to discover, develop, and commercialize medicines for the most pressing needs in our society through the use of open and inclusive research models.
Many of the participants had never met before. The meeting created ties, formed a community, and forged the alliances that would carry the open source pharma movement forward.
What the OSP1 programme set out to do.
Bring together the first-ever global conference on open source pharma and build a community around it.
Define open source pharma, relate it to alternative pharma approaches, and assess its applicability at each stage of the pipeline.
Develop concrete projects and paths forward: a global online research platform, a global innovation prize, an end-to-end pipeline for the world's first open source drug, crowdfunding and other innovative financing, a joint project proposal, and a joint academic paper.
22 people took part in OSP1.
