The Canadian Chapter of the Controlled Release Society (CC-CRS) was established in 2009 as a forum to facilitate interactions ... between academic, clinical, and industrial members active in the fields of the science and technology of controlled delivery of drugs and therapeutic agents in human and animal health, as well as other active agents in environmental, consumer, and industrial applications. CC-CRS is a local chapter within the international Controlled Release Society (CRS), part of the efforts of CRS to internationalize the membership of CRS and increase global networking opportunities for controlled release professionals. CRS reaches over 3000 members in over 50 countries, and CC-CRS offers opportunities both to form links with these researchers around the world, as well as to seed local collaborations within Canada. CC-CRS also aims to build the profile of controlled release activities in Canada to the international research community through the publications and annual meetings of the international Controlled Release Society. Finally, while membership in CC-CRS is free, CC-CRS aims to increase Canadian participation in all aspects of the international CRS body, including increasing Canadian membership in CRS and encouraging Canadian research to be presented at CRS Annual Meetings. We hope you will take advantage of the networking opportunities both inside and outside Canada that a free CC-CRS membership provides! read more
