Jules Angst

    We pay tribute to the remarkable scientific legacy of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.

    The Zurich Psychiatry Meeting explores current developments and future directions in psychiatric research through presentations by leading researchers and promising early-career scientists. The programme also includes the presentation of research and poster awards. We are particularly pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Carmine Pariante as keynote speaker.
