ECNP's independent Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) composes the programme of the 31st ECNP Congress with the intention of providing participants with high-quality, balanced and educational content across the field of applied and translational neuroscience.

ECNP has taken great care to respond to the need of physicians to participate in continuing medical education (CME) programmes recognised by the European Union and their home countries. The programme of the 31st ECNP Congress is accordingly fully accredited by the relevant accrediting agencies.

The CME Institute of Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc., is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The scientific programme of the 31st ECNP Congress is eligible for a maximum of 27.5 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.

How to apply

Physicians should only claim CME credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Requesting CME credits involves verifying their identity as a participant in the 31st ECNP Congress.

Participants can obtain a participation record for claiming credit free of charge by completing an evaluation form about the congress. The evaluation form will be online from the first day of congress until 1 December 2018. 

Physicians can also record their participation at the CME accreditation stand in the exhibition area, during the congress.

Media opportunities at the ECNP Congress 

Every year the ECNP press team promotes selected research presented at the ECNP Annual Congress. This tends to get good international press coverage – in the past congresses our work was featured by the likes of the BBC, the New York Times, The Times, La Stampa, Die Welt, etc. The work needs to be newsworthy and based on good science or be clinically important, meaning that we only promote around 8 to 10 items each year from a much larger initial selection. If you would be interested in having us consider your abstract as part of our media programme, please indicate that on the abstract submission form.

Abstract submission deadline 2018-05-26

Every ECNP Congress is accompanied by an educationally oriented industrial exhibition. ECNP sees the exhibition as making an integral contribution to the congress’s educational purpose, by allowing participants to gain first-hand access to information and advice. 

Industry manual and application

For more detailed information please find here the Industry manual and exhibition floor plan.

ECNP will make initial stand space assignments for applications received on or before 15 December 2017, taking into account the restrictions of the congress venue and, as far as possible, the applicants’ preferences. 

After the initial stand space assignment has been finalised, the remaining space (if available) will be allocated to late applications. 

No applications will be accepted after 16 July 2018.
