Scientific Advisory Panels

The Scientific Advisory Panels (SAP) are appointed by the Executive Committee on the advice of the chairs of the Scientific Programme Committee and the Publication Committee. The SAPs are established to provide guidance and content advice in ECNP’s eight areas of scientific focus: addiction; affective disorders and antidepressants; anxiety disorders and anxiolytics; basic and clinical neuroscience; child and adolescent neuropsychopharmacology; dementia; neurological disorders; and psychotic disorders and antipsychotics.

Membership of the panels is renewed every three years. If you would like to be considered for membership of an ECNP Scientific Advisory Panel, you are encouraged to contact the ECNP Office
