About the event
WCCS Regional Events (RE) are held annually, lasting 2-3 days in each region. It aims to provide a platform for chiropractic students in that specific region to connect, learn, and engage in international exchange on topics like research, education, and techniques. Featuring speakers and interactive workshops, Regional Events encourage active participation and practical skill development.
The European Regional Event in 2025 will be held from March 21 to March 23, with an unofficial kickoff on the evening of March 20, in the picturesque city of Zurich, Switzerland. The event will be proudly hosted by the WCCS Chapter at the University of Zurich (UZH) and they are thrilled to welcome delegates from across the European region, offering a fantastic program featuring inspiring speakers, engaging workshops, and a vibrant social itinerary. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how chiropractic is taught and practiced in Switzerland while experiencing a taste of Swiss culture.
More information about the schedule and registration will follow soon.
