A Word from the President,

Dear Members, Dear Distinguished colleagues,

It is our privilege and pleasure to announce the 10^th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry.

The World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP) has chosen Prague as the most attractive location for our next World Congress in 2011 (29^th May-2^nd June) in the field of biological psychiatry and psychopharmacology. This congress will be hosted by the Czech Society of Biological Psychiatry.

After the big success of the Paris meeting in 2009, Prague is the ideal setting to discuss the current advances in biology and molecular genetics, the development of new drugs based upon new molecular concepts, and the advances in modern technologies and neuroscience that will change our concepts and attitudes towards our patients. During this outstanding scientific event, opinion leaders from all around the world will share with us the newest innovations in the field and their impact on diagnoses, treatment and quality of life of our patients.

The next step will be the reorganization of our task forces which are in charge of the guidelines, a crucial way of increasing the WSFBP notoriety.

High scientific level sessions will be organized: intensive workshops and debates, plenary lectures with well know experts in the field and symposia. Young scientists are especially encouraged to present their recent findings through Free Communications and posters and Young Scientists Award Session will be dedicated to them. The general aim of the scientific program will be the biological and molecular basis of mental diseases which will contribute to improve our patients' everyday life.

The deadline for symposia submission is 25^th January 2010.  Please click here for the abstract submission information.

I look forward to receiving your symposia proposals.

Prof Florence Thibaut, President
