Dear All,

After close monitoring of the global risk assessment by the World Health Organization of the COVID-19 pandemic, we wish to share with you today on behalf of the CINP Executive Committee that the 32nd World Congress of Neuropsychopharmacology, rescheduled to 25 – 28 February 2021 in Taipei, Taiwan will now take place online as a fully virtual congress.

It is our top priority to care for the health and welfare of our participants and of the local Taipei community. We are aware of the travel restrictions that are being changed on a daily basis and impacting our colleagues' ability to attend the conferences. We also are aware that health institutions, organisations and educational institutions are restricting employee and student travel and participation in upcoming conferences, and that public health bodies do not allow events to proceed as normal at this stage.

Please note that your registration fees from the rescheduled in-person congress can be transferred to the new virtual format of the CINP World Congress, now taking place on 26 – 28 February 2021. For those who prefer, registration fees will be reimbursed. For more information please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

We look forward to bringing this new format of the congress to you virtually. Please stay tuned for more exciting announcements! We will return to Taipei in June 2022 for the 34th World Congress of Neuropsychopharmacology.

In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy.

On behalf of the CINP Executive Committee,

Professor Siegfried Kasper
CINP President
