ADVANCING PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH AND THERAPIES
Since 2007, the OPEN Foundation has been providing a platform for stimulating ideas and debates to help advance the understanding of psychedelics. We let science guide our efforts to optimise the potential of psychedelics in a therapeutic context and to work with different state, civil, and healthcare stakeholders to help integrate psychedelics into society in a way that’s both sustainable and responsible. We accomplish this by bringing together and educating professionals, policymakers, and members of the public through conferences, training and membership programmes, and by facilitating and promoting rigorous, interdisciplinary research.
A CENTRAL NODE IN A RAPIDLY EXPANDING FIELD OF PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH AND THERAPIES
OPEN critically interprets the latest scientific insights and provides access to objective, balanced information, contributing to an open debate on the potential value of psychedelics. We connect key players from leading academic, clinical, and policy organisations with the aim of ensuring that advancements in research contribute to a better understanding and implementation of psychedelics into science, healthcare and society.
