This Congress marks the 30th Anniversary of the European Psychiatric Association. Following our tradition, the cities we visit for the European Congress of Psychiatry have a special relationship or history connected with psychiatry. EPA offers you a high-quality, multidisciplinary Scientific Programme that will provide a full review of the most important aspects of diagnosis and treatment in psychiatry, and of the latest achievements in this field. The motto “Europe Challenges the Burden of Mental Disorders”, is a call to contribute to the European psychiatrists’ efforts to improve mental health in Europe. Congress highlights will therefore include Plenary Lectures, Pro & Con Debates, Symposia, Workshops, Free Communication Sessions, a dedicated European Early Career Psychiatrists Programme, CME Academia courses and sponsored symposia organised by leading pharmaceutical companies. We are developing an array of activities that will allow participants the opportunity to interact and network with colleagues from Europe and around the world. We invite clinicians and researchers to take part in the exchange of knowledge and experience to contribute to the Scientific Programme of our Congress by submitting their proposals for symposia and workshops before 23 May 2012. We look forward to welcoming you to the Mediterranean city of Nice in 2013! Patrice Boyer EPA President Danuta Wasserman EPA President Elect Philippe Courtet Local Organising Committee Chair www.epa-congress.org 3 EPA Congress Profile About EPA: Since 1983 the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) has been a community of individual psychiatrists and professionals in mental health care and national societies/associations dealing with psychiatry and its related disciplines. The EPA focuses on the improvement of care for the mentally ill as well as on the development of professional excellence. EPA has active members in as many as 75 countries including the international members. Together, EPA members contribute to the life of the association and to the development of Psychiatry in Europe. Each member has the possibility to actively contribute to ongoing projects and play a key role in shaping the future of the Association and its policy with a seat at the annual General Assembly. One of the important tasks for a European association is to maintain a strong link to national associations in order to keep a good level of communication encouraging professional interchange and to support active information exchange. EPA is an umbrella organisation linking National Psychiatric Associations (NPAs) and is active in the framework of various European Institutions such as the European Brain Council (EBC), European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT), the Federation of European Academies of Medicine (FEAM) and the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). MISSION: To improve psychiatry and mental health care throughout Europe. ACTIVITIES: EPA accomplishes its mission through the following activities: Annual European Congress of Psychiatry European Psychiatry journal, published in 8 issues per year, plus supplements CME courses, Summer School, Faculty Workshop and other forms of training under the umbrella of the EPA Academia for Excellence in European Psychiatry Early Career Psychiatrists Programme and other projects aiming to give early career professionals a voice in the evolution of training, research and practice standards to enable them to take influence on their own future and career progress A range of grants and prizes in psychiatric research 20 Sections, which collect, examine and disseminate information about their respective disciplines Practical guidance and position statements on topics of interest to the mental health community and beyond Initiatives on improving ethical standards of psychiatric care and practice Collaborative activities in partnership with international organisations working in the field of psychiatry and mental health care www.epa-congress.org 4 CONGRESS COMMITTEES (as per June 2012, subject to change) LOCAL ORGANISING COMMITTEE Hans-Jürgen Möller, Germany Philippe Courtet, Montpellier – Chairperson Michael Musalek, Austria Frank Bellivier, Paris Henning Sass, Germany Michel Benoit, Nice Danuta Wasserman, Sweden Amine Benyamina, Villejuif Gil Zalsman, Israel Gilles Bertschy, Strasbourg Zvi Zemishlany, Israel Jean-Philippe Boulenger, Montpellier Eric Fakra, Marseille EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Sébastien Guillaume, Montpellier Patrice Boyer, France - President Emmanuel Haffen, Besançon Danuta Wasserman, Sweden - President Elect Denis Leguay, Les Ponts de Cé Pierre-Michel Llorca, Clermont Ferrand Hans-Jürgen Möller, Germany - Past President Marianne Kastrup, Denmark - Secretary General Luc Mallet, Paris Philip Gorwood, France - Treasurer Emilie Olie, Montpellier Michael Musalek, Austria - Secretary for Sections Antoine Pelissolo, Paris Henning Sass, Germany - Secretary for Education Dominique Pringuey, Nice Silvana Galderisi, Italy - Advisor Philippe Robert, Nice COMMITTE ON EDUCATION Florence Thibaut, Rouen Guillaume Vaiva, Lille SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME COMMITTEE Henning Sass, Germany - Chairperson Pierre Baumann, Switzerland Dinesh Bhugra, UK Danuta Wasserman, Sweden - Chairperson Patrice Boyer, France - Co-Chairperson Mariano Bassi, Italy István Bitter, Hungary Philippe Courtet, France Andrea Fiorillo, Italy Sophia Frangou, UK Silvana Galderisi, Italy Philip Gorwood, France Siegfried Kasper, Austria Marianne Kastrup, Denmark Hans-Jürgen Möller, Germany Michael Musalek, Austria Henning Sass, Germany Andrea Fiorillo, Italy EPA BOARD Martina Rojnic-Kuzman, Croatia Patrice Boyer, France - Chairperson Nikolina Jovanovic, Croatia (ad interim) Mariano Bassi, Italy Julian Beezhold, UK István Bitter, Hungary Julio Bobes, Spain Wolfgang Gaebel, Germany Silvana Galderisi, Italy Philip Gorwood, France Cécile Hanon, France Cyril Höschl, Czech Republic Siegfried Kasper, Austria Marc H.M.
