From the President: Join Us in Erlangen for ISPNE 2026Dear ISPNE members, sponsors and friends,We are very much looking forward to the ISPNE 2026 annual meeting, which will take place this year in Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg between September 2 and 5, 2026. The main theme of our meeting is: Stress in Motion: From Signals to Society - Integrating Biological Processes, Sensors, and Living Systems. The 2026 conference theme underscores the unique position of the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology at the intersection of biological, psychological, medical and social sciences. Stress in Motion: From Signals to Society reflects ISPNE’s longstanding commitment to integrative, multilevel approaches – embracing experimental, clinical, animal, and applied research – while highlighting the growing importance of technological innovation and real-world relevance. By bridging biological processes, digital signals, and living systems, the theme emphasizes the role of psychoneuroendocrinology in advancing foundational science, fostering translation across domains, and informing health, mental health, and societal challenges in an interconnected world. We explicitly welcome submissions addressing all topics that fall within the core mission of the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology and its affiliated journals Psychoneuroendocrinology and Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology. We invite you to visit our website to find out more about our meeting, submit a symposium or individual paper or poster abstract, and to register and book hotel rooms at a discounted rate. The deadline for symposium and individual abstract submissions is May 1st. We are also still welcoming potential meeting sponsors who may wish to attend our meeting and inform our membership regarding relevant products for research, health or consumer markets. If you are connected to an organization or company that might be interested, please view our sponsorship options or reach out to Chelsea Lavassani at [email protected] to discuss custom sponsorship packages. We look forward to receiving your conference submissions, registrations and sponsorships, and to seeing you in person in September. Additional announcements will follow regarding meeting programming and events, ISPNE elections and additional opportunities for involvement with ISPNE.
Best, Emma Adam, ISPNE President and Nicolas Rohleder, ISPNE President-Elect and Local Conference Organizer
