The 64th IPSF World Congress of the International Pharmaceutical Students Federation (IPSF) will take place from 30 July to 8 August in Mendoza, Argentina. This year’s theme is "FROM LAB TO COUNTER: The Different Pharmacists' Profiles And Their Constant Contribution To Global Health".

In 2016, in the General Assembly celebrated during the 62nd IPSF World Congress in Harare, Zimbabwe, the Asociación de Estudiantes de Farmacia de la República Argentina (AEFRA) was chosen by the official delegates from all the participating countries (by unanimous vote) to host the 64th IPSF World Congress, to be held in 2018 in Mendoza city.
