Preliminary programme
Every day deals with a different aspect of fear and anxiety-related problems, starting with an introductory lecture that gives a brief outline of the topic and the latest developments in that area. In the daily problem-based learning (PBL) sessions the students split up into small groups to further explore the topic by doing a group assignment. The results of these assignments will be presented at the plenary meeting on Friday.
 
In the afternoons there is a series of Special Lectures that aim to present the latest available evidence, to put known evidence in a broader context, or to offer an interdisciplinary perspective. For updates on the programme and the Special Lectures, subscribe to our newsletter.
