The leader university of this project is the CHARLES UNIVERSITY and its FACULTY OF PHARMACY

The Faculty of Pharmacy of the Charles University is the one of two faculties of pharmacy in the Czech Republic. It prepares students to succeed in all fields of pharmacy, i.e. in general pharmacy practice, clinical pharmacy departments in public and private hospitals, pharma industry, pharma / healthcare management, and, in general, in research and development. This function would not be possible without state-of-the-art research and academic staff, good research infrastructure, and sufficient research funding. Is the leading research institution in the Czech Republic in a variety of pharmaceutical disciplines including analytical chemistry/pharmaceutical analysis, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and clinical pharmacy. In the QS World University Ranking 2020 by subject, Pharmacy and Pharmacology at CUNI is ranked 151-200. This result can be largely attributed to this faculty as the dominant contributor to this field. It should be mentioned that the faculty is also the most productive research institution in the region of Hradec Králové.

The University of Pécs (UP) with its 20 000 students, with more than 4 500 international students, with 1 400 lecturers and researchers, with its 10 faculties is one of the largest higher education institutions in Hungary and the centre of knowledge within the Transdanubian region. Its roots date back to 1367. The UP represents classical values, while the challenges of present and future times are being adapted successfully as well. The UP is one of the leading research universities in the country with a huge professional research background. The Szentágothai Research Centre is home to a number of medical, pharmaceutical and other scientific researches. The university has 21 doctoral schools including the Pharmaceutical Doctoral School. Training at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the UP started in September 2000 following the establishment of the institutes of pharmaceutical sciences. The Pharmacy Programme was accredited by the Hungarian Board of Accreditation (MAB) in 2006. The Pharmacy Programme initially was part of the Medical School. The independent Faculty of Pharmacy was established in 2016. We aim to train pharmacists who - based on the acquired theoretical knowledge - have both hands-on skills and ethical views and are able to participate in diverse fields of health care, pharmaceutical research, and pharmaceutical industry. With a pharmaceutical diploma one can work not just in public but hospital and clinical pharmacies as well. People with research interest can find a job in pharmaceutical research companies. Young fellows with economical interest can be involved in the market or management of pharmaceutical materials.
