Helmut Remschmidt Research Seminars

At the 17^th IACAPAP Congress in Melbourne held in 2006, the IACAPAP Executive Committee decided to arrange research seminars, entitled the Helmut Remschmidt Research Seminars, in the geographical area of the upcoming IACAPAP Congress. The purpose of the seminars is to inspire young colleagues from IACAPAP and allied disciplines to engage in research. The aims are to provide: basic knowledge in key aspects of research design in child and adolescent psychiatry, skills in presenting research to colleagues, skills in commenting on the research of others, and the ability to carry out personal research projects under the specific circumstances of one’s department.

Seminars are organized into themes. Each seminar participant is asked to bring to the seminar a research plan or an ongoing project in the form of a PowerPoint presentation to present in group discussion under the supervision of 1 or 2 mentors.

The mentors are very experienced IACAPAP clinicians and scientists. They present papers in the morning and become the mentors in the afternoon, when the project proposals of the participants are discussed.

The HRRS 2021 has been rescheduled to 20-25 February 2022 in Dubai, UAE. It will be renamed as HRRS 2022. Applications for the programme has closed, and final arrangements are currently underway.
