This one-day symposium will bring together experts and professionals in pharmacometrics (PMx) to provide an overview of *what PMx is* and demonstrate *how PMx contributes to model-informed drug development and therapy individualisation* (see programme https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CT4LtgoThgiLzYFRyGtF7rT5TW_Qaktd/view?usp=drive_link ). The symposium includes an introduction to PMx, talks covering preclinical and clinical applications of PMx in drug development, sessions on treatment optimisation and personalisation, student case studies, and a short group work session. With speakers from academia, industry, consultancy and regulatory authorities, and featuring invited experts such as Mats Karlsson and Rob ter Heine, the symposium also highlights the broad range of PMx roles and offers valuable insights for those considering their next career step. The symposium is *intended for* MSc/PhD students in natural sciences, postdocs, and others interested in PMx, including clinical pharmacists, clinicians, mathematicians, statisticians, and industry colleagues. Students and postdocs/trainees are invited to submit abstracts to* present their original PMx-related work* (maximum 4,500 characters including spaces; abstracts may be the same as for PAGE). The *abstract submission deadline is 3 May 2026*. Participation is *free, but registration is required:* registration link https://forms.gle/mkuJAPGTTSVFq9617 (open *until 3 May 2026*). *Based on last years’ positive feedback, register early to avoid missing out*.
