Online interdisciplinary conference on psychedelic research: 24-27 September.

The Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research is usually a Netherlands based event. However this 'fourth edition' will now take place online because of Covid. This virtual format has some disadvantages but also some advantages - it is now more accessible in time & travel and it costs less to attend. The conference details state: "ICPR 2020 is an academic conference focused on high quality scientific and scholarly research into psychedelics. Many academic disciplines have important contributions to make within the field of psychedelic studies. ICPR aims to bridge and connect these disciplines, and to facilitate a dialogue between the diverse academic fields and researchers involved in the study of psychedelics. What to expect? Featured prominently at ICPR will be the latest findings from clinical research into psychedelics as treatments for mental and other disorders. ICPR also features cutting edge brain imaging research, and the latest findings from psychopharmacology and neurobiology studies. The conference will dedicate ample time for studies from the humanities: anthropological research, ethnographies, social sciences studies, historical research, and philosophical questions. Further, the conference will facilitate in-depth discussions about (psycho)therapeutic frameworks, reflections on therapeutic modalities, and mechanisms of change. ICPR will host lectures, panel discussions, poster presentations, and practically oriented workshops for therapists, researchers and clinicians."
