American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP)

The American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) is a professional, international organization of leading brain scientists. ACNP is a non-profit, professional society dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of and facilitating communication about disorders of the brain and behavior in order to advance their prevention and treatment. The membership of the College is drawn from scientists in diverse subfields of neuroscience, including behavioral pharmacology, clinical psychopharmacology, epidemiology, genetics, molecular biology, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroimaging, neuroimmunology, neurophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, and psychology. The ACNP encourages participation in College activities by members of organizations whose mission and purpose is primarily to:

• Advocate for improved treatment for people with brain, behavioral, and substance abuse disorders.
• Advocate for the elimination of stigma associated with those disorders.
• Provide assistance and support for people with brain, behavioral, and substance abuse disorders through referral services, self-help support groups, and other similar services.
• Who share a common commitment with the ACNP for the support of scientific research in neuropsychopharmacology and related fields.
• And who seek and use the advice of ACNP members on their scientific advisory boards.

The principal functions of the College are research, education, to offer investigators the opportunity for cross-disciplinary communication and to promote the application of various neuroscientific disciplines to the study of all forms of mental illness and their treatment. Their educational goals are to encourage young scientists to enter research careers in neuropsychopharmacology and to develop and provide accurate information about psychiatric disorders and treatment. The makeup of the ACNP allows us to offer expertise in the science of psychiatric disorders from the standpoint of diagnostics and therapeutics.

European College of Neuropsychopharmacology

The European College of Neuropsychopharmacology is a scientific association dedicated to ensuring that advances in the understanding of brain function translate into better treatments and enhanced public health. ECNP is committed to ensuring that advances in the understanding of brain function and human behaviour are translated into better treatments and enhanced public health. ECNP aims to:

• Support innovative research in the convergent disciplines of neuropsychopharmacology and facilitate the communication of ideas, discoveries and best practices.
• Encourage the scientific activities of countries in Europe and co-ordinate the development of common European standards.
• Promote the entry of Early Career Scientists into the field and support their ongoing professional development.
• Provide guidance and information to the public on matters relating to brain function and the treatment of brain disorders.
• Facilitate dialogue with regulators, government bodies, international agencies and industry.

To achieve its aims, ECNP organises a wide range of activities, programmes and events across Europe. These include:

• Meetings: the annual ECNP Congress is attended by more than 5,000 psychiatrists, neuroscientists, neurologists and psychologists from around the world each year for the communication and cross-fertilisation of research results and ideas in the field of neuropsychopharmacology.
• Workshops: for (pre-)doctorates and residents.
• Seminars: for focused interaction among Early Career Scientists.
• New Frontiers Meetings: for cross-talk between researchers, industry and regulators on key future trends and frontier

ECNP Networks bring together researchers with different expertise across Europe to foster successful collaboration and sharing ofideas, discoveries and practices in translational neuroscience. The overarching aim of ECNP Networks is to facilitate the collection of essential biological, clinical and therapeutic data in a standardised way to guarantee their robustness, reproducibility and translatability. The Networks form a matrix of disease-oriented and transnosological groups. In response to the ongoing developments in brain research and the changing nature of the European and international research funding landscape, the ECNP Networks Board instituted the ECNP Thematic Working Groups (TWGs) as a way to further stimulate the Networks activities and facilitate their missions.
