International Drug Repurposing Conference (#iDR27) – Further, Together: From science to patient impact

Date & Time 15-16 June 2027
Location London, United Kingdom

Join the leading international drug repurposing conference by REMEDi4ALL and Beacon for Rare Diseases to explore how we can move promising science, ideas, and collaborations further towards patient impact. 

#iDR27 will follow the repurposing journey from the environment needed for new ideas to thrive, through scientific methods and clinical development, to translation, implementation, and patient access. Across plenary and interconnected pathway sessions, the conference will bring together different perspectives to share progress, examine barriers and identify practical routes to patient access. 

Why Join This Event?

Drug repurposing moves forward when the right science, methods, policies, funding, and partnerships come together. iDR27 offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn from real-world examples, explore different routes to impact and connect with the people working to bring repurposed drugs to those who need them. 

  • Science with impact – Explore how promising discoveries become real-world opportunities for patients. From emerging repurposing approaches and clinical development to implementation and access, iDR27 will examine how scientific ideas move further towards patient impact.
  • Community and collaboration – Connect with patient organisations, researchers, clinicians, industry, funders, policy-makers and regulators from across the international drug repurposing community. Through discussion, networking, and shared learning, iDR27 will strengthen the partnerships needed to advance repurposing together.
  • Shaping the future of repurposing – Join conversations on funding, policy, regulation, and sustainability that help create the conditions for drug repurposing to thrive. Explore how different stakeholders can work together to overcome barriers and accelerate patient benefit.
  • Global perspectives and real-world learning – Discover examples, experiences and insights from drug repurposing initiatives around the world. From rare diseases and patient-led projects to new models for collaboration and impact, iDR27 will showcase how different communities are driving progress in practice.
