The College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at FAMU strive to develop progressive leaders in pharmaceutical care, research and public health who enhance the quality of life for the people of Florida. In less than six decades since our founding, the College has emerged as a nationally recognized leader in pharmacy practice, research and public health. The successes that we have achieved have been built upon a solid foundation of attracting the most academically talented students from across the country; providing faculty who are on the cutting edge of research and practice in their respective disciplines; and new state-of-the-art facilities that provide the environment for outstanding intellectual growth and development. The College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is a professional college with limited enrollment and selective admissions. The mission of the College is to produce highly qualified pharmacy practitioners who take an active role and responsibility in the delivery and outcomes of pharmaceutical care.

The European Union is a unique economic and political partnership between 27 European countries. It has delivered half a century of peace, stability, and prosperity, helped raise living standards, launched a single European currency, and is progressively building a single Europe-wide market in which people, goods, services, and capital move among Member States as freely as within one country. The EU provides funding and grants for a broad range of projects and programs. The EU was created in the aftermath of the second world war. The first steps were to foster economic cooperation: countries that trade with one another are economically interdependent and will thus avoid conflict. Since then, the union has developed into a huge single market with the euro as its common currency. What began as a purely economic union has evolved into an organization spanning all areas, from development aid to environmental policy.

The establishment of the European Science Foundation (ESF) in Strasbourg in 1974 was one of the earliest milestones on the road to achieving real cooperation in European research. The ESF began life with a membership of 42 academies and research councils in 15 countries; in 2011 it counts 78 Member Organizations (MOs), including research funding organizations, research performing organizations, academies and learned societies, in 30 countries. As an independent, non-governmental organization dedicated to pan-European scientific networking and collaboration, the ESF has had a key role to play in mediating between a multitude of heterogeneous research cultures and agencies. The ESF hosts an array of instruments to accommodate various types and levels of international collaboration, within Europe and beyond. The ESF''s unique characteristic in this area is its responsiveness to the scientific community, in contrast with the more targeted approaches taken by the European Commission. Many of the instruments operated by the ESF, e.g. Exploratory Workshops, EUROCORES (European Collaborative Research scheme), Research Networking Programmes (RNPs) and ESF Research Conferences, are designed to respond to needs articulated by the research community. Open calls for proposals are published on an annual basis, so that the themes for programmes, networks and workshops are gathered from the research community, in line with the ESF''s bottom-up principles. This is particularly welcome in research areas which might not otherwise be prioritized for funding on an international level. In recent years, the ESF''s profile has shifted from being mainly a facilitator of collaborative research and networking to also providing a platform for Member Organizations to develop joint strategic operations and synergy among themselves. By influencing the strategic agendas of MOs in this way, greater leverage over a much larger European budget and agenda is achieved. In other words, the ESF maximizes the impact of its support to the research community by combining bottom-up and topdown approaches to scientific cooperation.
