ean College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) is a non-profit scientific society established in 1987 on the initiative of scientists and clinicians working in Europe in neuropsychopharmacology and related areas. ECNP serves as a unique and remarkably broad interdisciplinary platform, which strongly emphasises the complementary nature of research at the bench and at the bedside or clinic. This so-called translational research is target-oriented, promoting the development of diagnostic procedures and laboratory outcomes in the service of discoveries that will result in improved patient care (Zerhouni 2005).
To facilitate the flow of information among researchers and clinicians, ECNP has set up in recent years a number of activities stimulating cross-disciplinary forces ranging from psychiatry to neurology, pharmacology and psychology to carry out research on brain mechanisms and functions.
Recently the ECNP School of Neuropsychopharmacology has been established with the aim to teach junior clinicians high standard practice in neuropsychopharmacology and to involve them in the development of local good practice in teaching and training. The first ECNP School of Neuropsychopharmacology will be held in Oxford, UK, from 5 July 2009.
ECNP is dedicated to the progressive integration of basic research, clinical neuroscience and medical practice, which can guide advances in neuropsychopharmacology and lead to a next generation of promising new treatments for mental disorders.
