Childcare
During the 30th ECNP Congress, there is childcare available at the congress venue. A professional child care agency, Tante Marloes, has been hired for this service.
The multilingual team will create a safe, creative and fun environment for all children aged 0-12 years old. They will provide a full range of play equipment and toys to let the children enjoy themselves throughout the day.
There will also be a relaxing space where children can calm down or sleep during a long day.

ECNP Seminars 2018
Every year, ECNP organises a number of seminars in European developing-economy countries, whose researchers and practitioners have limited opportunities to attend international meetings.
The aim of the ECNP Seminar is to provide an interactive training course for future neuropsychopharmacology leaders in those countries. They offer participants the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills in a concentrated learning environment with local and international experts.
Would you like to organise an ECNP Seminar in your country in 2018? We are happy to assist you!
More information is available on our website.

BBSRC-ECNP School on research reproducibility
Last April ECNP in partnership with the British Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) offered a five-day residential course on advanced methods for reproducible science at Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park, UK. Thirty early career researchers from the UK and other European countries attended the course. ECNP sponsored ten places for European applicants.
During the five days, the student group connected well, working together and helping each other. Some new initiatives and collaborations were planned. At the end of the course the majority of the students indicated that the course would definitely affect the way they do research in the future. Students also noted how much they valued the chance to interact informally with tutors during meals and breaks, in addition to the Q&A sessions during the course.
