It brings together schizophrenia scientists from around the world to share their science, generate new collaborations, and set standards and concepts for future research. It is an opportunity for academic, government, and industry scientists to interact as colleagues around schizophrenia research. The Clinical Symposium associated with The International Congress will translate the aims of the Congress into clinical practice areas for the practicing clinician.
