Awareness Lectures on Psychedelics in Switzerland returns
in its second edition !
Be welcome to this year's Awareness Lectures on Psychedelic Science. Scientists and clinicians from Switzerland and abroad will share their knowledge on the many facets of psychedelic research and therapy. From clinical applications to anthropology, philosophy, and more!
This year's conference will cover the marvelous multidisciplinary nature of the psychedelic domain with a scientific and humanistic approach.
Beyond academic interventions that form the core of the event, participants are also invited to discover an exclusive documentary on Friday night (Aware - Glimpses of Consciousness) and connect with other participants and speakers over our Networking Apéro Saturday evening.
Finally, two round tables will open the debate on psychedelic therapies and policy making, with the testimony of a patient treated in Switzerland in a group setting, thanks to the exceptional medical use framework unique to this country.
This year's conference will take place from 28 to 30 October 2022 in Bern.
The central location in the middle of Europe, the excellent transport connections and the short walking distances in the city make the capital of Switzerland the ideal place to meet. The venue, Bern Expo, can be reached in only 15 minutes by public transport from the railway station of Bern.
Targeted audience : psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, medical doctors, researchers, students.
