Psychedelic Research Network

Aiming to enhance understanding of psychedelics by investigating their effects on cognition, emotion and brain activity. By examining their acute and lasting impacts, particularly in psychiatric treatments, the Network seeks to establish evidence for their therapeutic potential. It aims to facilitate international collaboration, sharing data and expertise to advance research on the mechanisms and clinical applications of psychedelics, with the ultimate goal of improving treatments for psychiatric disorders.

History

Formed in 2022 to address the growing interest in psychedelic medicine, the Psychedelics Research Network unites internationally recognised European centres with a strong track record in psychedelic research.
