Proceedings of the scientific and practical conference with international participation "II Youth League of Drug Development and Registration, or New Horizons of Pharmaceutical Science and Practice"

On February 17, the annual international congress "Drug Development and Registration" was held in Moscow, organized by the scientific-practical journal of the same name, the Center of Pharmaceutical Analytics, and the Saint Petersburg State Chemical and Pharmaceutical University as co-organizer.

Since 2025, a specialized section for young specialists in pharmaceutical science and practice – the "Youth League of Drug Development and Registration" – has been held within the congress. This year the Youth League took place for the second time, but already gained international status and brought together young scientists from the EAEU countries: the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus, and the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main goal of the Youth League is to provide young scientists with an opportunity to present at one of the largest events in the pharmaceutical industry alongside leading scientific and practical specialists, representatives of major enterprises, universities, and regulatory authorities. The Youth League is one of the main formats of support provided by the Center of Pharmaceutical Analytics to young scientists conducting research in pharmaceutical chemistry, drug development, preclinical and clinical studies, and many other areas that are the main scientific directions of publications in the journal "Drug Development and Registration", which publishes many articles by young scientists.

The main prize, which by tradition has become a certificate for publishing an article in our journal, was contested this year by representatives of the Saint Petersburg State Chemical and Pharmaceutical University, I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, Voronezh State University, Ryazan State Medical University named after academician I. P. Pavlov, Perm State Pharmaceutical Academy, Scientific Centre for Expert Evaluation of Medicinal Products, Belarusian State Medical University (Minsk), South Kazakhstan Medical Academy (Shymkent), as well as the Center of Pharmaceutical Analytics. A professional team of experts duly evaluated the participants' works, and in tight competition, the prizes were distributed as follows:

Silver prize: Victoria A. Terletskaya (BSMU, Minsk, scientific supervisor Cand. Pharm. Sci. R. I. Lukashov).

Bronze prize: Yulia D. Yatskovskaya (CPhA, Moscow, scientific supervisor Dr. Pharm. Sci. T. N. Komarov).

Also, the CPhA team awarded a special prize in the form of a certificate for an internship at the company to Ulyana A. Efremova (SPCPU, St. Petersburg) and Ainur N. Karabaeva (SKMA, Shymkent).

Anna V. Schastnaya (BSMU) received a special prize from the journal "Herbarium" by decision of the editorial board.

The main reward for us, the organizers, was the fascinating reports of the participants, lively discussion, shining eyes and wonderful atmosphere of the event. We look forward to seeing you at the third "Youth League of Drug Development and Registration" in 2027!
