Research Events

The following events for researchers showcase cutting-edge alopecia research.

World Congress for Hair Research 2021 (postponed to 2022)

New date: Friday 22nd to Monday 25th April 2022 

Melbourne, Australia

In 2022, the World Congress of Hair Research returns to Australia and there has never been a more exciting time to be a hair researcher.  Discoveries in genetics, molecular biology and immunology have translated into new treatments of alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, cicatricial alopecia and hirsutism. Held every two years, the World Congress of Hair Research remains the premier event on the international hair research calendar.  It is the place to come to hear about new knowledge and emerging treatments.

Please note that this event was due to take place in April 2021 but has been postponed by a year due to Covid-19 and the closure of the Australian border.

4th Inflammatory Skin Disease Summit

3rd-6th November 2021

New York City, USA

This is a meeting designed to discuss new concepts and new developments in the field of inflammatory skin diseases and to devise and explore new therapeutic strategies. For the last two meetings, we had been able to attract true leaders in their fields, and we had approximately 600 participants from all over the world at the 2018 meeting in Vienna. The flyer for this meeting is available here.

The meeting will also include the Atopic Dermatitis and Alopecia Areata Symposium. This will be a joint symposium presented with the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, the International Eczema Council and the National Eczema Association. The aim is to discuss new data about AD and AA including the overlap and differences in the underlying basis of each, demonstrate how emerging and more targeted therapeutic interventions can improve AD and AA and to recognise the perspectives and needs of patients with AD and AA.

ISDS 2021

EHRS 2023:

15th-17th of June 2023 

Sheffield, UK

This is the meeting of the European Hair Research Society, held every two years, and is a major event in the calendar for those with an interest in hair, including specialist physicians, dermatologists, surgeons, cosmetic scientists, and researchers from academia and industry.

The EHRS 2023 meeting will take place in the purpose-built Diamond, a conference venue at the University of Sheffield in the centre of the city.

The fields of basic and clinical hair research continue to expand both scientifically and geographically and sessions will include contributions from new and established leaders in different specialities.
