Please find below an overview of past ECNP Congresses.
In scheduling the ECNP Congress, ECNP takes account of the religious festivals of all the major European faiths. However, because not all dates are always available to us, overlaps are very occasionally unavoidable. In these situations, we make great efforts to ensure that the overlap – and any inconvenience to our participants – is as minimal as possible.
