CINP2026 will serve as a forum for interdisciplinary discussion of recent breakthroughs and developments will incorporate a dedicated track for early career clinicians and researchers, including opportunities to network with global leaders in the field. The congress will bring together experts from research and medical institutions, leading worldwide regulatory authorities and major pharmaceutical firms to create a framework for a cohesive collaboration between academia, industry and governmental institutions toward the development and appropriate use of central nervous system drugs.
The congress has been awarded EACCME® accreditation, making it eligible for 19.5 CME credits. These credits can be converted into national CME/CPD credits where applicable and are also recognised through agreements with the American Medical Association and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
Conference WebsiteProfessor Guy Goodwin will deliver a plenary lecture entitled “Remedicalising Psychedelic Drugs for Psychiatry.” In this highly anticipated presentation, Professor Goodwin will explore the implications of his latest groundbreaking research and discuss recently released findings that are helping to shape the future of psychedelic medicine in psychiatry.
As well as keynote lectures from Ole Andreassen, Tom Insel, Marion Leboyer, David Nutt and Barbara Sahakian and many cutting-edge symposia, this year’s programme includes many more interactive sessions than ever before, giving you the opportunity for conversation and discussion with some of the most acknowledged experts in our field.
Seating is limited for campfire sessions, in which participants share their experiences in an informal ‘open forum’ setting, so make sure to mark your programme and arrive in good time.
This year’s topics include Society and Psychiatry, with Tom Insel and Barbara Sahakian; My Career Path with David Nutt and Marion Leboyer, ‘Over diagnosed and over medicated – young adults and neurodevelopmental disorders’ with Mu-Hong Chen, David Coghill and Anna Szczegielniak, and ‘I was so much older then – Reflections on Research for Early Careers’, with Gabriella Gobbi and Allan Young.
Early Career researchers will also be interested in Sunday’s Professional Development Workshop: Maximising research reach and impact: practical strategies for early-career researchers, chaired by IJNP Editor in Chief Greg Wegener alongside CINP’s Early Careers Committee Chair Asilay Seker, while Sunday’s interactive debate on Pitfalls and Potential in Psychedelic Research with Danilo De Gergorio, Gabriella Gobbi, Hideaki Tani and Allan Young is sure to prove popular.
This year’s Meet the Experts sessions will focus on Traumatic Stress, OCD, Pharmacogenetics, DTTD, so get ready to submit your cases for discussion.
