EUDRAGIT® Workshop 2026

April 21-22, 2026​ | Darmstadt, Germany


Overview

This free two-day workshop offers an excellent opportunity for lab managers and senior scientists involved in formulation development, process optimization, scale-up, and production to deepen their understanding of EUDRAGIT® polymers and their diverse applications, including immediate, enteric, sustained release, and solubility enhancement in oral drug delivery.

Throughout the workshop, Evonik's oral drug delivery experts will cover all essential aspects, from polymer functionalities to advanced formulation designs. On the second day, participants will gain hands-on experience with EUDRAGIT® polymers in the Evonik laboratories, providing a unique insight into practical applications.

The agenda also includes opportunities for expert discussions and knowledge exchange, enabling attendees to apply their newfound insights in their daily work. Whether you are new to coatings for solid oral dosage forms or a seasoned formulation expert looking to refresh your knowledge of EUDRAGIT®, we look forward to welcoming you to this workshop.
