The 2026 ISPNE Annual Conference, themed "Stress in Motion: From Signals to Society", offers a variety of multidisciplinary sessions exploring stress from biological foundations to complex living systems. Spanning from basic research to real-world applications, the program is designed to appeal to a diverse range of professionals across endocrinology, neuroscience, psychology, and related fields.

The ISN will be present with the symposium "Maternal Stress and Perinatal Brain Health: Insights from the HappyMums Project"

#resilience2026 is taking shape. Under the motto DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DIFFERENT CONTEXTS, we will be discussing resilience in collective trauma, sex and gender differences, ethical and societal aspects of resilience research, and much more. Plus: Free methods workshop “Resilience quantification in humans“ and many opportunities for early career researchers.

This ECNP satellite meeting gathers multidisciplinary experts to advance a standardized, clinically relevant framework for resilience in mental health. By exploring conceptual foundations, methodologies, and neurobiological mechanisms, the event aims to translate resilience into a measurable, actionable construct for precision psychiatry.
