Targeted Expert Meetings (TEMs)
The TEMs are closed meetings with a maximum of 30 participants invited by ECNP and take place just before the ECNP Congress.
ECNP launched the Targeted Expert Meetings (TEMs) in 2006 to promote the exchange of ideas between the members of the ECNP Scientific Advisory Panels (SAPs), experts on selected topics and European scientists between five and fifteen years post-doc.
Every year two TEMs are organised to discuss in-depth topics of particular relevance for present and future research. Topics preferably include translational research, moving new knowledge on fundamental disease mechanisms into clinical applications and vice versa. The areas of interest are similar to those of the SAPs.
The Scientific Advisory Panels for 2012-2014 are:
- Addiction
- Mood Disorders
- Anxiety Disorders
- Basic and Clinical Neuroscience
- Child and Adolescent Disorders
- Dementia and Neurology
- Psychotic Disorders
The following outputs are expected from each TEM:
- A summary paper of the meeting to be published on the ECNP website
- A short review to be published in ECNP Matters
- A symposium proposal for the next ECNP Congress
- At least one review paper to be submitted to European Neuropsychopharmacology
- Future discussion topics and research strategies
