ECNP’s core mission is help to ensure that advances in the understanding of brain function and human behaviour are translated into better treatments and enhanced public health.
ECNP’s goals are to:
- Support innovative research in the convergent disciplines of neuropsychopharmacology and facilitate the communication of ideas, discoveries and best practices.
- Encourage the scientific activities of countries in Europe and co-ordinate the development of common European standards.
- Promote the entry of early career scientists into the field and support their ongoing professional development.
- Provide guidance and information to the public on matters relating to brain function and the treatment of brain disorders.
- Facilitate dialogue with regulators, government bodies, international agencies and industry.
What we do
To achieve its aims, ECNP organises a wide range of activities, programmes and events across Europe.
Meetings
- ECNP Congress, Europe’s leading platform for the communication and cross-fertilisation of research results and ideas in disease-targeted brain research, attended annually by nearly 7,000 psychiatrists, neuroscientists, neurologists and psychologists from around the world.
- ECNP New Frontiers Meetings, high-level scientific incubators for cross-talk between researchers, industry and regulators on key future trends and frontier developments.
- ECNP Roadmap Meeting on Precision Psychiatry, for international consensus-building on the case for precision psychiatry approaches and strategies for implementation.
- ECNP Workshop on Applied Neuroscience, for Europe’s outstanding (pre-)doctorate and psychiatric resident researchers.
