Childcare at the congress

The multilingual team will create a safe, creative and fun environment for all children aged 0-12 years old. They will provide a full range of activities, play equipment and toys to let the children enjoy themselves throughout the day. There will also be a relaxing space where children can calm down or sleep.

Van_Gerven

Joop van Gerven joins Executive Committee

The Executive Committee welcomes a new co-opted member: Joop van Gerven. Joop is the CNS research director at the Centre for Human Drug Research in Leiden in the Netherlands (www.chdr.nl), a foundation specialising in data-intensive, early phase clinical studies, and professor of clinical psychoneuropharmacology at Leiden University.

His primary interests are in the prediction of pharmacological effects of CNS-active agents during early phases of drug development and neuropsychiatric challenge-tests.

“Joop’s extensive experience with the biotech sector makes him a valuable addition,” said ECNP president Guy Goodwin, “we’re pleased to have him aboard.”

ISCTM

ISCTM Autumn meeting

This year, ISCTM will be holding its ‘Autumn’ meeting in Europe: on 27-29 August in Amsterdam, immediately preceding the 28th ECNP Congress.

The opportunity to extend the scope of ISCTM’s activities and deliver on its mission to promote a truly international response to the challenges of therapeutic innovation in the CNS arena is a very important one.

By holding the meeting jointly with the ECNP Congress, ISCTM has been able to link the premier forum for issues confronting drug development to Europe’s largest meeting for the science and treatment of disorders of the brain. For all those interested in this critical area, it’s a very exciting combination.
