Symposia Submission
The symposia submission has now been closed.
Overview and topics
We welcome proposals for symposia of 75 min duration that integrate the latest advances in basic,
clinical, and translational neuropsychopharmacology, as well as biological psychiatry, drug
development, public policy issues relevant to mental health, mental illness, and treatment across
the lifespan. A comprehensive list of topics can be found here.
The International Scientific Program Committee also welcomes proposed symposia that link the latest
ground-breaking preclinical developments with clinical research on a given topic. Through the free
and open exchange of ideas, CINP supports a strong focus on new approaches to the development and
assessment of CNS pharmaceuticals by researchers working in both academia and industry.
Symposium Structure
Symposia should be of 75 minutes duration, and should include three speakers, one of whom can, if desired, be the Chairperson of the session. Between them, the Chairperson and speakers should represent at least three different countries and institutions and we strongly encourage symposia proposals that include female faculty and early career investigators who have obtained their most recent degree within the last 10 years. At least one participant in all proposed symposia should be a CINP member.
Submission Procedure
All proposals should be submitted by the proposed Chairperson of the session. Submitters can propose a maximum of two symposia and speakers can agree to participate in a maximum of two proposals.
