1st ISoP European Artificial Intelligence Seminar
16–17 February 2026 | Basel, Switzerland
1st ISoP European Artificial Intelligence Seminar 2026
“AI-Powered Pharmacovigilance: Humans in the Loop“

Programme and Overview
Join us for the inaugural ISoP European Artificial Intelligence Seminar, a two-day event dedicated to exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can responsibly and effectively transform pharmacovigilance (PV).
Under the theme “AI-Powered Pharmacovigilance: Humans in the Loop,” this seminar will examine the dynamic interplay between emerging AI technologies and human expertise—highlighting the opportunities, challenges, and ethical imperatives of AI integration in drug safety and risk management.
Hosted at the Novartis Campus in Basel, the seminar will bring together regulators, industry experts, researchers, and innovators to discuss the latest guidance, practical tools, and trustworthy applications of AI in PV systems.
ISoP seminars must be free of commercial biases, and a strict conflict of interest policy is enforced. We create an international forum for all those with an interest in the clinical, scientific, and regulatory aspects of patient safety when using medicines.
Why Attend
- Gain insights from leading experts on the latest CIOMS AI guidance and trusted use frameworks.
- Explore real-world applications of AI across PV processes, including case processing, signal detection, and risk prediction.
- Understand regulatory perspectives on AI implementation and governance.
- Engage with thought leaders on large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and the role of generative AI in PV.
- Network with global peers to share experiences, challenges, and strategies for responsible innovation.
Who Should Attend
Pharmacovigilance professionals, AI technologists, regulators, data scientists, healthcare leaders, and researchers interested in the ethical and practical use of AI in safety science.
