Plenary Lectures are 45-minute sessions held by renowned experts. The speakers have been chosen from among the most prominent researchers in the respective field. Symposia
Symposia were selected, covering basic, clinical, interface and conceptual topics of Biological Psychiatry. Symposia are organised and chaired by the experts
whose proposals were accepted by the International Scientific Programme Committee. Workshops
Workshops are 60-minute sessions, consisting of a chair and two co-presenters. This format is especially designed to give specific regions a platform for presentation and networking. The workshops are highly interactive sessions with an educational focus. Debates
Debates are intended to offer a platform for a lively, yet balanced discussion on controversial issues. A moderator (chairperson) and two speakers (one proponent and one opponent) state their opinions on different subjects. WFSBP Treatment Guidelines Sessions

Young Scientists Award Sessions
These sessions are dedicated to the research findings of talented scientists up to 40 years of age. These 90-minute sessions take place daily from 08:00 – 09:30 h. They comprise five 10-minute presentations, each followed by 5 minutes of discussion at the end of the presentation. Guided Poster Tours
A whole range of highly interesting papers on new research findings and / or major research efforts are expected to be submitted as posters. As many posters will probably be submitted by young investigators, the Local Organising Committee will arrange Guided Poster Tours of the best posters to give the authors the opportunity to present these findings and discuss them with
the audience. Industry Sponsored Symposia
These 60- to 90-minute sessions are fully integrated into the congress. The sessions are organised and executed by the pharmaceutical industry by an unrestricted educational grant. CME Accreditation
The WFSBP 2011 Congress is seeking for accreditation by the European Council for Continuing Education (EACCME) to provide continuing medical education
(CME) credits to physicians. The EACCME is an institution of the European Union
of Medical Specialists (UEMS). EACCME credits are recognised Europe-wide and in North America. EACCME credits can be exchanged for their national
equivalent by contacting the respective National CME authority. EACCME credits are recognised by the American Medical Association (AMA) towards the Physician’s Recognition Award (AMA). |
