ECNP Congress

The annual ECNP Congress is Europe’s premier scientific meeting for disease-oriented brain research, annually attracting more than 5,000 psychiatrists, neuroscientists, neurologists and psychologists from around the world. Join us at #ECNP2023!

Beware of internet scams

Please be aware that there are several commercial registration agencies, entirely independent to ECNP, who create fake and misleading websites and e-mails, offering registration for the ECNP Congress. Some companies also try to actively sell registration by phone. These organisations are not linked to ECNP and are using our name and /or logo without authorisation.

The ECNP President, Martien Kas, will not send e-mails asking for travel arrangements, money transfer, etc.
