8th International Evolutionary Psychiatry SIG Symposium

Event Information

The Evolutionary Psychiatry Special Interest Group is marking the 10th anniversary of its founding with a major one-day F2F event at the college HQ in London. This, very auspiciously, falls on the 100th anniversary of our College’s Royal Charter!

The speaker line-up is outstanding and includes the ‘father’ of the field, Prof Randolph Nesse, who will be joining us from the USA. This should be an unmissable event for any clinician/academic/student who is interested in evolution and psychiatry. The opportunity to hear the thinking of the founders and leaders of the field and to network with other evolutionists is unparalleled! Registration will soon open so watch this space!

 

Further information will be available shortly.
