Experience «Big Questions, Cool Drinks: A Night of Science and Psychedelics»

The «Big Questions, Cool Drinks» format turns the evening into an informal discussion about how psychedelics affect the brain. The debate will focus on psilocybin and MDMA, their study in clinical trials and their possible therapeutic applications.

Instead of the usual lecture theatre, the setting is that of a bar, with dim lighting and drinks that can be held while talking. The speakers draw on current scientific data and explain how these substances are researched in medicine, from depression to post-traumatic stress disorders.

The programme includes a 45-minute talk and a short question-and-answer session, in which any question of interest can be asked without restrictions.
