Record number of abstracts

Over 1,400 abstracts have been submitted for the 29th ECNP Congress, beating the previous record of 1,290 from 2014. “This is very good news,” says Executive Director Alex Schubert, “because it shows that the science of the meeting remains extremely vigorous, and in fact is getting better and better. It’s a very a good sign for the strength and success of the Vienna congress”. 

The coming weeks, all abstracts will be reviewed for presentation at the congress and/or publication in the ECNP journal European Neuropsychopharmacology.  

ECNP Junior Scientists Initiative

Research Internship: application open

The ECNP Research Internship aims to provide short-term research internship opportunities for junior researchers, across the spectrum of applied and translational neuroscience.

Successful applicants spend two weeks in an institution in a country other than their own under the guidance of a senior researcher, funded by ECNP. For 2016, 15 research internships will be supported.

Are you interested in participating?

2016 ECNP Workshop – an outstanding meeting

The ECNP Workshop, with a format – combining molecular, behavioural and clinical neuroscience – that is unique in Europe, has long been one of ECNP’s most successful educational events.

The topic, ‘The flip side of the brain, glia and their significance,’ brought together 105 junior scientists from 26 countries, as well as a faculty of some of Europe’s top scientists in the field. The feedback, from speakers and participants alike, was outstandingly positive.

This year also saw Mark Millan step down as Workshop Committee Chair, and ECNP thanks him for six years of exceptional work.

Neuroscience & Psychotherapy Meeting

Exploring exciting new territory

Every spring ECNP hosts an innovation meeting in Nice, France, to explore a new area of frontier and boundary-jumping science. This year the theme was neuroscience and psychotherapy, organised by Guy Goodwin and Emily Holmes.

Seventy-five researchers and junior scientists spent two days looking at how neuroscience can deepen our understanding of the talking treatments, and vice versa, across a range of behaviours. For many it was their first such conversation across disciplines, and the results were extremely encouraging.

To sustain the momentum, the outputs of the meeting will be presented at a special neuroscience and psychotherapy session (S.34) on Tuesday 20 September, 15.00-16.40, at the 29th ECNP Congress in Vienna.
