Scientific topics
Which scientific topics are accepted at the ECNP Congress?
ECNP’s mission is to ensure that advances in the understanding of brain function and human behaviour are translated into better treatments and enhanced public health.
ECNP accepts and encourages the submission of proposal outlines by psychiatrists, neuroscientists, neurologists, psychologists and other professionals, from across the world, who are keen on discussing the latest developments in the science and treatment of brain disorders. ECNP accepts abstracts from a broad range of topics in applied and translational neuroscience.
