ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

XR technology is rapidly evolving as a powerful approach for improving the treatment of mental disorders, but the underlying neural and cognitive/emotional mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. In addition, developing the next generation of XR assessment and intervention tools requires interdisciplinary collaboration between fundamental and clinical science. To address these pressing issues, we have created a novel, high-profile meeting with an exclusive focus on mental health. The meeting will bring together leading scientists working on Fundamental XR Research, Clinical XR Research and Human Computer Interaction.

Plus, don’t miss our VR Therapy workshop with Prof. Stéphane Bouchard (Canada), where you can learn about practical implementations of VR therapy firsthand! A bibliometric study by Guan et al. (2025) examined the 100 most-cited papers on mental health and virtual reality. They listed Stéphane Bouchard in both of their two short lists of the most impactful scholars.

CME accreditation is available for participants from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You will receive 18 credits points (CME) at the Medical Association Berlin. In case you wish to credit the points, please bring  with your EFN number stickers.
