The 2027 Research Academy will take place on 22-23 June 2027 in Athens ahead of our ESCAP Congress. Further information will be available from autumn 2026.

The aim of the Research Academy is to promote research excellence and collaborative work among young clinician scientists in the field of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP). ESCAP wishes to support early careers by promoting training, encouraging collaborations and by providing a forum to share experiences with senior world leading researchers. 

The 2-day meeting will be organized and chaired by Koen Bolhuis, Assia Riccioni and Héloïse Young under the auspice of the ESCAP Academic Division. Attendees are asked to collaborate within a network after the meeting to tackle a research question at the European level (see some examples here: Revet et al. Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatr 2018; Barrett et al. Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatr 2020; Revet et al. Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry 2021a; Revet et al. Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry 2021b).
