1 Nordic Child and Adolescent Psychiatric (NordCAP) Research Meeting Main focus on Bipolar Disorder / Affective Disorder / Severe Mood Dysregulation Stockholm Sweden CAP Research Center September 15-16, 2016 Invitation / call for abstracts We are happy to announce yet another NordCAP meeting, this time held in Stockholm, Sweden. Senior and junior academics of the Scandinavian child and adolescent psychiatry departments are cordially invited for the two day meeting. The main focus this year is on bipolar and affective disorder and severe mood dysregulation, but all kinds of submission are warmly welcome. However, traditionally and owing to space restrictions, there is a maximum number of possible attendants, which is 60 this year. This number is further divided by country (SE, FIN, NO, DK = 10-15, IS = ~5). Thus, the members of the organizing committee, composed of representatives from each Scandinavian country, contact their national departments and research group to coordinate an equal representation of interested colleagues, as far as possible. The general objective of NordCAP is to learn about and from our neighboring colleagues research, to foster and deepen ongoing collaborations and to explore ways to further develop pan Scandinavian research networks. NordCAP is especially interested and want to support and motivate researchers at an early stage of their career, why this year s conference both offers a special for early stage researchers to present their work for discussion, and grants 10 of them a reduced participation fee. Early stage researchers are academics before or in in the initial phase of a PhD program. Depending on the amount, quality and areas of abstract submissions, the meeting will be organized around topical oral presentation sessions and a longer poster session. We aim for a lengths of the oral presentations of 20 min plus 10 min discussion, but we await the incoming abstracts for a final decision. The meeting begins with an invited lecture on the meeting s main topic by Dr Argyris Stringaris, who will by then be located at the National Institutes of Health, USA. He will attend the whole meeting for additional exchange and networking. Kindly, fill in the enclosed registration form and abstract submission form and be careful to fill in all boxes.
