TRI Talks 2023 – Hair, Skin & Nails Science & Claim Methods: Starts October 25th

TRI Talks started on-line in 2020, with the aim of keeping healthy scientific discourse going through the COVID pandemic. Just like TED Talks, after which they were named, they set-out to be engaging, informative and thought provoking. Last year, 743 people from around the world registered to join the conversation. This year the TRI Talks will focus on Hair, Skin and Nail Science and Claims Methods, and will feature expert speakers from TRI. All four talks will be available to stream live and on playback. To join us, please register here for free.

TRI Princeton aims to achieve excellence in applied measurement science and to use this to improve human health, wellbeing and beauty through improved product design. This years’ TRI Talks, show that we are making good progress in this regard, as our scientists will present, for the first time, in three very different product categories, hair care, skin care and nail care.

3rd Multi-Ethnic Hair & Scalp Care Symposium – New Student Discounts

The 3rd Multi-Ethnic Hair and Scalp Care Symposium will take place live and on-line (in a hybrid format), on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th June, 2023. This year, in-line with TRI’s charitable mission to support education & training in our industry, we are offering new discounts on registrations for students who wish to join the Symposium (details below). For general details about the scientific programme, click here. For registrations, click here.

TRI is a not-for-profit organisation, set-up over 90 years ago, to support industry through innovative research, education, and testing services. TRI supports education by delivering on-line courses, on-line seminars (TRI Talks), conferences and symposia, and through curation and sharing of all this knowledge in the TRI Library. TRI staff also provide lectures to university students in the UK and US, support for Masters’ projects, and training in laboratory skills through our internship programme. In addition to all this, in the future, TRI has plans to return to supporting PhD projects in partnership with universities.

This year, for the Symposium, we would like to offer students discounts on registration. Standard registration costs $400 per head, however, for students, this will be reduced to $200. We can also offer group registrations for students that will go as follows: 1-5 students ($600), 1-10 students ($1,120) and unlimited students from one institution ($2,240). For more information about these offers and how they can be applied-for, contact us at events@triprinceton.org

Get Your Certificate for Successful Completion of TRI’s Hair Science & Hair Claims Course

This year, for the first time, TRI will be awarding certificates for those successfully completing the course on Fundamentals of Hair Science and Hair Claims. An on-line test will be offered to all attendees at the end of the course, and certificates for ‘Successful Completion’ of the course will be awarded to those passing the test. We hope this will help attendees by providing hard evidence of their training and continuous professional development (CPD). Register for the course by clicking here.

The annual on-line TRI hair training course usually attracts over 100 attendees from around the world and is often seen as a rite of passage for many people coming into the hair category. The course this year will be split into two main parts. On Day 1 there will be an introduction to hair structure and biology and to hair product technologies. On Days 2 and 3 the course will focus on the various techniques used for hair product testing and how these are used to support marketing claims. All the training material will be given by TRI scientists with in-depth experience in the fields they will be speaking on. Presentations, updated each year, will give the latest technical developments in all of the subjects covered.

Each day will finish with a light-hearted Kahoot! quiz to help remind attendees of key learning points from the day. Winners of the quiz will be world hair science stars for one day!

The course costs $250 to join, but, as usual, there are free places for TRI Member Companies, Academic Discounts and Group Discounts. Contact us for more details.
