AI is increasingly instrumental in enhancing understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions. From predictive modelling and natural language processing to digital phenotyping and personalised interventions, this Network will explore the potential of intelligent technologies in psychiatry.
This Network will differ from the ECNP Digital Health Applied to the Clinical Research of Brain Disorders Network by focusing on the scientific and clinical potential of intelligent systems rather than the implementation of digital tools in clinical settings.
ECNP Networks
ECNP Networks are multidisciplinary platforms that connect experts across Europe to advance brain research. They provide a space for collaboration, data harmonisation, and knowledge exchange, helping to generate reliable and reproducible results with real-world impact. Networks contribute through joint publications, policy input, educational resources, and collaborative grant proposals, while also supporting the next generation of scientists. New Networks receive an initial budget of EUR 15,000 for three years, subject to approval by the Networks Board. After a positive evaluation, this transitions to an annual budget of EUR 15,000.
Application procedure
We invite visionary applicants to submit a proposal. The selection process will consist of two stages:
Submit an initial proposal (maximum two pages) outlining the Network’s vision, objectives, and direction. The proposal must demonstrate how the initiative differs from existing European networks and detail the expertise and tools the applicants bring to achieve the stated goals. Please include a list of proposed Network members along with their affiliated (European) centres.
The ECNP Advisory Panel will review all submissions and select the most promising proposal. If appropriate, the Panel may invite applicants to collaborate on a joint proposal(s). The selected team will then be asked to develop a full proposal in accordance with the “Application” section of the ECNP Network guidelines.
Submission details
Please send your stage 1 proposal to the ECNP Office at: ecnp-networks@ecnp.eu
Deadline: 10 November 2025
We look forward to receiving your application.
