🌍 WCP 2026: 26th World Congress of Psychiatry in Stockholm 🇸🇪

Join us as the World Psychiatric Association (WPA), in collaboration with the Swedish Psychiatric Association, invites you to the 26th WPA World Congress of Psychiatry (WCP 26) in the vibrant heart of Stockholm, Sweden from 23-26 September 2026.

Our guiding theme, “Guided by Compassion, Grounded in Science: Psychiatry for Our Time,” encapsulates the core of contemporary psychiatric practice. As we navigate a swiftly evolving landscape, it is crucial that psychiatry harmonizes empirical knowledge with empathy. This Congress will evaluate how mental health professionals can tackle today’s challenges with kindness, maintain ethical integrity, and innovate responsibly to address the ever-changing requirements of our society.
