We have become a strong, competitive scientific community at the tip of Africa. We take pride in fostering pharmacology amongst our young scientists and to promote pharmacology in the rest of Africa, in partcular via inisiating and growing the "Pharmacology for Africa" (PharfA) initiative.

We chose the city of Cape Town as destination in South Africa for WCP2014. This panoramic coastal city at the foot of Table Mountain is surrounded by cultural heritage and natural beauty. It is a modern, vibrant city with a unique character, is technologically advanced and is an internationally reknowned tourism destination. We believe that it will offer you a memorable experience.
