Prof. Thierry Passeron, Prof. David Sander, Prof. Marc-André Selosse, Prof. Jin Qu, Prof. Nina Jablonski and Dr Anke Hadasch will each introduce one of the scientific half-days of the congress, following the ‘out of the box’ morning sessions by Paul Matt, Gilles Bœuf and Luc Julia, designed to inspire unconventional thinking and explore the unexpected as a source of creativity for cosmetology.
On September 15, a workshops’ day led by specialists will precede the 3 official days of the congress. Each session will provide participants with cutting-edge insights to enhance their work. Places are limited.
Finally, a dedicated area will host some thirty exhibitors showcasing their services and technologies.
Designed to promote the latest scientific advances in cosmetology, this 35th congress is the annual opportunity to federate the IFSCC's worldwide network made up of 51 societies from 81 countries, in interaction with academic and industrial players in the cosmetics sector.
It is the responsibility of the host country's Society to organize the event.
