Sep 30, 2008 - Oct 4, 2008,
BolognaFiere, Bologna, Emilia Romagna Italy

“Architecture is becoming more fluid. The standard is no longer the square tile only. Formal language emerges from lines of force and space develops fluidly in response to rapidly evolving conditions and technologies. Process and materials need to evolve and adapt to contemporary conditions to remain relevant and current in architecture. Fluidity enables the continued emergence of innovation of materials; materials that accommodate the double curve or the 3rd dimension for curvilinear spaces represent immense potential and creativity for architecture and design.”
This is the idea that inspired Thom Mayne in his design for the poster for Cersaie 2008.

GLP Fundamentals
Sep 30, 2008 - Oct 13, 2008,
Canada

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations are codified in 21 CFR Part 58 and are applicable to all non-clinical studies that support applications on research or marketing permits for products regulated by the FDA, other national agencies and the EPA. A GLP complaint laboratory not only satisfies the applicable regulations, but also supports the organization’s business needs by being efficient and generating quality data which in turn supports quality project decisions.



The GLP regulations require that each individual engaged in the conduct of or responsible for the supervision of a non-clinical laboratory study shall have education, training, and experience, or combination thereof, to enable that individual to perform the assigned functions. One of the required training components is on the GLP regulation, which will be provided by this seminar series. This 3-session live and interactive web training curriculum begins with an overview of CFR 21 Part 58, including discussion on the requirements for the equipment, facility, organization, study protocols and reports, as well as archives.



The SOPs required to conduct a GLP study in each of the key GLP areas will be addressed in detail. The emphasis of the course will be on the set up and operation of a GLP compliant Laboratory, as well as the ways in which laboratory systems can be designed to improve efficiency. The course will also cover specific issues faced by attendees in their laboratories, including examples of warning letters from the FDA website, to understand do’s and don’t’s.
