ISPE

ISPE, the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering, is a global professional association dedicated to advancing the science and engineering of pharmaceutical manufacturing and related biopharmaceutical development. Its membership includes engineers, scientists, operators, quality professionals, and regulatory and supply-chain personnel from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and contract organizations.

ISPE develops and disseminates technical guidance, standards, and best practices through its library of Good Practice Guides and other publications, covering topics such as facility design, commissioning and qualification, process development, automation, computerized systems validation, and quality systems.

Education and training are provided through online courses, webinars, and instructor-led programs, complemented by regional workshops and local chapter activities.

The organization operates worldwide through regional chapters and special interest groups and is governed by a board of directors along with volunteer committees that manage programs, publications, and governance.

ISPE's activities support lifecycle management of pharmaceutical facilities and processes, from early development and tech transfer through commercial production, helping industry, regulators, and suppliers exchange knowledge and align on practical engineering and manufacturing approaches.
