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.

Accomodation
We have booked a discounted block of hotel rooms close to the venue. Please note that rooms can only be booked until 2025, April 15, but cancellations are 100% free of charge until 2025, June 10, so it makes sense to book early.

Walking distance: 9 min
the niu Flash
Urban, cosmopolitan and casually playful: The the niu Flash hotel -newly built in 2021- perfectly reflects the unique vibe of Berlin. The capital is colorful – and that also applies to the hotel. Here you can expect an imaginative design with real superhero power à la Flash Gordon, 80’s-inspired lightning symbols and cool industrial elements. The absolute hotspot at our the niu Flash is our Living Lobby with 24-hour bar & bar food as well as a co-working space.
