WFSBP 2021 Preliminary Program

WFSBP 2021 3 Dear Colleagues On behalf of the executive committee of the World Federation of the Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP), we are delighted to invite you to attend the 15 th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry. As a result of the current pandemic situation, the 15 th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry will now be delivered as a virtual event for 3 days from 28–30 June 2021. By going virtual, WFSBP is contributing not only to reducing the risk of spread of COVID-19 but also eliminating CO2 emissions and reducing waste. This is an exciting opportunity for the global biological psychiatry world to experience this innovative methodology for the first time. The registration fees have been reduced considerably in order to make it attractive for all delegates to participate in this exciting event. Please note that all sessions will not only be available online for the 3 congress days, but also for 2 months after the congress. “Precision Psychiatry in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and New Technologies” is the major theme of this Congress. The Congress will feature plenaries, symposia, workshops and posters that will highlight the advances in the fields of drug discovery, genomics, imaging, omics, cognitive neuroscience, digital and clinical phenotyping, e-mental health and virtual care, and how artificial intelligence can leverage such advances to aid personalized treatment of people with mental disorders and addictions. We very much look forward to welcoming you to the WFSBP World Congress. Prof. Lakshmi N.
