The World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP) has chosen Athens for its World Congress in June 14th –18th 2015; therefore, the hosting society (Hellenic Society for the Advancement of Psychiatry and Related Sciences) is very thankful. Constantin R. Today, it is easy to envision a future where psychiatric diagnosis will be based on understanding funda­ Soldatos mental defects in thinking, emotional processing, and motivational systems. Psychiatry is now well positioned to take advantage of the major advances achieved in the last few decades in neurobiology and cognitive sciences and to build on them. WFSBP with its unique complementarity between basic neuroscientists and clinical psychiatrists, coming from various cultural and geographical backgrounds, is an important tool for the future of psychiatry. During the 12th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry, worldwide opinion leaders will share with us the recent innovations in their respective fields which impact on diagnosis, treatment and quality of life of our patients. High scientific level sessions have been organized: plenary lectures, symposia, interactive Florence Thibaut workshops and debates, while a good number of WFSBP Task Forces will actively participate in the scientific programme through the presentation of Treatment Guidelines they currently publish. Also, young scientists will present their recent findings through free communications and posters presentations. Moreover, the scientific programme of the present congress includes certain novel components such as a round table on the topic “Drug discovery in neuroscience: Why is big pharma reluctanct to continue investing?”, and three educational sessions on basic research issues, pharmacological treatments, and brain stimulation methods. We are looking forward to welcome you in Athens, the heart of European culture and civilization, and to receive you according to the traditional Greek hospitality. Finally, we wish you a joyous and fruitful congress participation and hope that you will take home unforgettable memories and inspiration for your research and everyday clinical practice. Thank you for joining us! Prof. Constantin R.
