PRA Speakers and Events

Events

Due to the unforeseen travel disruption caused by the Eyjafjallajoekull eruption across Europe, PRA has regrettably decided to postpone indefinitely the "Faster to Phase II - Award Winning Insights" workshops scheduled for May 11th -12th in Munich and Copenhagen respectively.

Please visit again soon for details of PRA's continuing 2010 Workshop Series.
