Its mission is to promote research and education in neuropsychopharmacology. It also provides advice on all aspects of neuropsychiatric drugs. Through these activities, it seeks to advance research thus leading to improved patient care.

The aim of the society is to promote scientific collaboration broadly speaking in the area of neuropsychopharmacological research, promoting scientific discussion and exchange of experience among the Nordic and Baltic countries. The annual scientific meeting is the main manifestation of this collaboration.

After several years in Copenhagen, the venue will be Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus. The meeting is organized by the SCNP with professional help from a congress firm (KongresKompagniet and Con.Ex).

This is an annual meeting organized by the Society, founded in 1958 (www.scnp.org).

The annual meeting is expected to draw 150-200 participants. The costs will be borne partly by the participants from sponsor agreements. The participants have different backgrounds: researchers, clinicians, students, and newly qualified doctors.

We intend to organize the congress with a perfect mix of scientific lectures, posters and also lectures and workshops about career opportunities in academia and industry, and of course time for informal interaction between delegates, presenters and exhibitors.

Poster sessions and exhibitions will take place in the hall close to the conference rooms, and this is also where coffee breaks will take place.
