WORLD CONGRESS FOR HAIR RESEARCH SCHEDULE
The AHRS interfaces with other international hair research societies in the International Federation of Hair Research Societies. The member societies rotate the responsibility to organize the World Congress for Hair Research every several years. This is the largest and most respected hair research meeting in the scientific community.
2030 WCHR Open Slot
We are delighted to announce the launch of the 2030 Open Slot bidding process. This is a new initiative introduced into the calendar of the World Congress for Hair Research. In this unique instance, a bid to host the Open Slot need not come from an existing IFHRS member society. However, the bid must come from a bid team with a genuine interest in promoting Hair Research with the strengths, confidence, and capabilities to organize and host this event and the team must outline compelling reasons for their choice of location/timing which make the event unique in the cycle of hair research congresses.
