Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to the 2nd International Congress on ADHD – from childhood to adult disease. The 1st Congress in Würzburg was a big success and step forward gathering outstanding scientists on ADHD from all five continents as well as more than 1.600 participants from 68 countries. The second international Congress will take place in Vienna, Austria. It will further promote our understanding of ADHD as a transcultural neuro-psychiatric disorder of the lifespan.
The congress will focus on four main topics bridging the gaps between:
1. Our scientific and clinical knowledge on ADHD from its beginning in childhood, through its continuity in adolescence and persistence into adulthood; the developmental lifespan perspective will be again one of the most outstanding pillars of the scientific congress program.
2. Our knowledge about the most evident psychopathological behavioural
symptoms, the features of associated brain structures, brain metabolism and brain function, associated biological and psychological endophenotypes of the human body in general and their interaction with genetic and environmental correlates considered from a developmental perspective.
3. A vast majority of research objectives, methods and disciplines: Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Adult Psychiatry in cooperation with other clinical and basic research disciplines such as epidemiology, statistics, brain imaging, neurochemistry, physiology, psychology, psychotherapy, neuropsychopharmacology and developmental genetics.
4. Of a trans-cultural understanding of ADHD and its comorbidities. Last but not least the congress will bridge the gaps between the participants coming from all continents. Let us meet each other and come to know each other personally and thus reinforce collaboration, friendship and trust in our scientific effort. The most qualified scientists and clinicians agreed to come and to contribute
actively.
We therefore cordially invite you to join us in Vienna, this extraordinary historical city and the city of Sigmund Freud.
We welcome you all to the second International ADHD congress!
