Scientific Programme Committee

A Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) is nominated by the Board of the World Federation of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (WF ADHD) for each congress. The SPC is composed of research and clinical thought leaders in the field of ADHD, as well as representatives of affiliated associations. The WF ADHD Board also appoints four Chairs of the SPC. At least one of the Chairs must be a Board member. When establishing the SPC, attention is paid to achieving a balanced representation with regard to sex and ethnicity. The Chairs and members of the SPC serve for two years.

The SPC is invited to submit topic suggestions, as well as proposals for innovative presentation formats for the scientific programme. Each suggestion should include a title, the names of the proposed speakers, and a brief description of the proposed content.

The chairs of the SPC develop a draft programme and submits it for final review and approval by the Board of the WFADHD. Through this process, WFADHD seeks to create a current and balanced scientific programme, that allows congress participants not only to increase their professional knowledge and clinical skills, but to offer real perspectives on the current status and future of ADHD research.
