WOCP [The Worldwide Organization for Collaborations in the Pharmaceutical Industry]: Membership

Membership to W.O.C.P. is open to all organizations, companies, institutions and individuals but different selection criteria apply in order to maintain a high standard.

Membership

Corporate Organization Membership (Click here to apply)

This type of membership is most appropriate for companies and other organizations and includes, in addition to the company / organization / institutional membership, individual memberships for up to three executives at levels which are awarded on applicable criteria below.

Corporate Organization Membership benefits include:

Comprehensive company / organization overview included in W.O.C.P.'s Directory of Members; a description of your activities that allows you to chose exactly what you wish to include, in the format you prefer.
Inclusion of ALL the projects or services that you wish to either offer for collaboration or types of opportunities that you seek to find; for example, this facilitates collaborations by describing what you wish to offer (whether it is a development compound, a marketed product, a technology or a service, e.g. legal, CRO, Consultancy, etc.). In addition, this also allows to outline what type of products or services you have an interest in finding. For example, to allow a more efficient approach, pharma and biotech companies can list the therapeutic areas of interest, territories of first priority and development stage of products that are most appealing to acquire.
Contact details of as many offices or people as you wish, with optional information such as the areas of interest of each contact.
The ability to use W.O.C.P.'s Membership Directory as a reference address or website; the web address of your "organization" would be www.wocp.org/members/"organization", as you chose it to appear.

Annual subscription fees for 2006 are: $ 1,400 / € 1170 / £ 799 / ¥ 166,000.
