About the Conference
Nordic PharmacoEpidemiological Network (NorPEN) is a network of research groups with the purpose of facilitating research within the field of pharmacoepidemiology in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). NorPEN organizes annual 2-3 days scientific meetings held in turns in each Nordic country. In November 2023, the Norwegian research groups at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and University of Oslo will be hosting the 15th annual meeting. The theme of this year’s conference is: Strengthening our Nordic network for preparedness and impact. The meeting will be organized face-to-face. There will be no virtual participation.
NorPEN conferences are open to all researchers and other experts engaged or interested in pharmacoepidemiology, not just for research groups involved in NorPEN.
