We are pleased to announce the newest addition to ECNP Networks programme: the ECNP Depression Meta Network. Because of its heterogeneity and pervasiveness across disorders and research domains, depression had been too ‘big’ for its own Network. This challenge has now been addressed with a new concept: the meta-Network. Drawing upon expertise from across the Networks programme, the Depression Meta-Network significantly enhances ECNP’s commitment to understanding and treating this extraordinarily complex and prevalent disease, currently estimated to affect no less than 6% of the world’s population.

Join ECNP for a new season of free PsychX online talks on key themes in current psychiatry and applied neuroscience.

Below are the upcoming webinars, which take place on the first Monday of every month at 16.30-17.30 CET (Central European Time)/CEST (Central European Summer Time):

Beware of internet scams
Please be aware that there are commercial registration agencies, entirely unconnected to ECNP, which offer registration for the ECNP Congress via fake and misleading websites and e-mails. Some of these companies may even call to try to sell you registration by phone.

These organisations are not linked to ECNP and are using our name and/or logo unlawfully. Registering through them will result in you paying more and maybe even losing your payment entirely. If you are unsure whether a website you are about to use is ECNP’s, ask us!
