OPEN FOUNDATION ICPR CONFERENCE

The Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research is a scientific conference that started in Amsterdam in 2010. Since then, ICPR has become an international event dedicated to advancing psychedelic research and therapies in the Netherlands, Europe, and across the world.

ICPR features world-leading experts from many different academic disciplines, from psychiatry, psychology, and neuroscience, to anthropology, ethnobotany and philosophy who come together to give a scientific conference for academics, therapists, researchers, clinicians, and members of the public.
