We look forward to welcoming you to this year's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience Research Festival, our annual showcase of exciting and innovative research.

This year's theme is “Bridging disciplines, brain to behaviour".

Celebrate IoPPN’s innovative research with a packed afternoon of rapid talks from some of our top researchers, staff and students.

Join us to hear about everything from a framework for ethical artificial intelligence in healthcare to exploring health inequities for Black and Asian users of mental health services, from uncovering non-motor symptoms in Huntington’s disease to reproducing psychedelic effects with a placebo.
