ECNP Neuropsycho-pharmacology Award

Nominations are now open for the 2015 ECNP Neuropsychopharmacology Award in basic research. 

All scientists in applied neuroscience who are based at a university, research institution or hospital in Europe (the 47 countries of the Council of Europe plus Israel and Belarus) and whose research originates primarily in Europe are eligible. Self-nominations are also accepted.

The award winner receives a prize of EUR 20,000, a commemorative gift, and is invited to present the award plenary lecture at the ECNP Congress.

Nominations close 15 January 2015. For more information, please visit the ECNP website.

New membership system

Following a decision of the ECNP General Assembly, the membership application and renewal procedure will be significantly simplified. Under the new system, membership will be linked directly to the payment of membership dues. New members will be able to apply online and initiate membership immediately.

Conversely, membership will lapse as soon as the subscription is in arrears. The system is scheduled for roll-out in the early New Year.
