Programme

We aim to provide you as delegates with a rich scientific programme highlighting the latest developments in suicidological research and prevention. Innovation is a key word to us as organizers since the enormity of the problem of suicidal behaviour calls for creative and courageous efforts to bring new ideas and new knowledge into practical work in effective approaches to treatment and intervention.

We will provide delegates with opportunities to share their own experiences and take part in formal and informal discussions over a wide range of topics. We will send out a formal call for papers September 30th 2012, but feel free to send us ideas and proposals for topics, themes and presenters at any time. A scientific committee has already been established and will review all proposals and work hard to make this conference reach the highest of standards.
