United in Diversity

The theme of the ESRII 2023 conference is “United in Diversity” in mental health science, routine care practices and digital technologies. Diversity will be expressed in terms of the variety of target groups to be addressed, cultural identities, methodological innovations such as AI, therapeutical framework developments and technological innovations. With this theme we aim to embrace diversity, equity and inclusion in science and routine mental health care with a specific focus on the next generation of multidisciplinary researchers and scientists’ practitioners. The ESRII 2023 is free of conference charge as we want to enable young researchers to partake as well.

The VU Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) welcomes all participants to the 7th ESRII Conference 2023. We are happy to host the conference as innovations in digital mental health as well as values like diversity are part of the VU identity.

The interest in the conference is high and we have received many abstracts. The jam-packed program now contains 8 keynotes, 67 poster presentations and 19 parallel tracks with more than 80 presentations to choose from.

Please notice that lunch is not provided by the conference. You can have your lunch in different ways and places nearby. We have listed a number of options for you here.

We have put together two fantastic pdf booklets. A compilation of all accepted abstracts with program overview of the presentations. In addition, a compilation of all poster presentations, arranged by time.
