ISPE moves commissioning and qualification training out of the lecture hall and into a working facility — three days at the EASE (European Aseptic and Sterile Environment) training center in Strasbourg, France, , covering process validation from both EU and US perspectives with a half day on ATMPs.
Dates and venue
- Training: 17–19 November 2026
- Venue: EASE training facility, Strasbourg, France
- Organizer: International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE)
- Format: hands-on, in person
What it covers
The three-day program works through commissioning and qualification (C&Q) and process validation as practiced under both EU and US regulatory frameworks, addressing both small-molecule and large-molecule considerations. A dedicated half day extends the same qualification and process-validation discipline to advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) — cell and gene therapies with their own validation challenges.
Who should attend
Validation, quality and manufacturing engineers building or auditing C&Q and process-validation programs, including teams extending that discipline to ATMP manufacturing. Looking for the scalability angle first? ISPE's webinar on scalability in CQV runs earlier in the year, and PDA's Annex 1 Implementation Workshop covers the adjacent sterile-manufacturing compliance ground.
Frequently asked questions
When and where is the ISPE Hands-On CQV & ATMP Training?
17–19 November 2026 at the EASE (European Aseptic and Sterile Environment) training facility in Strasbourg, France. Both ISPE's own training page and the EASE facility's event listing state these dates; last confirmed 22 September 2026.
What does the training cover?
Commissioning and qualification (C&Q) and process validation from both EU and US regulatory perspectives, covering small- and large-molecule considerations, plus a dedicated half day on qualification and process validation for advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs).
Is this a hands-on course?
Yes — it runs at ISPE's dedicated EASE training facility rather than a conference venue, and ISPE markets its EASE-hosted courses specifically as hands-on training.
Who should attend?
Validation, quality and manufacturing engineers responsible for commissioning, qualification or process validation programs, including teams working with ATMPs, at organizations operating under both EU and US regulatory frameworks.
