Dear colleagues, It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to the 9th Congress on Neurobiology, Psychopharmacology and Treatment Guidance which will be held on March 8^th-10^th 2024 in Thessaloniki, Greece.

With the COVID-19 pandemic at its end, and with all the devastation and challenges it produced, but with the new challenges imposed by the war and the global recession, we are resuming our efforts with this 9th Congress which again aims at being valuable for the clinicians who fight daily in the front line for the treatment of real-world patients. In this frame, our goal is to provide a global and comprehensive update of the newest developments in Psychiatry and the allied sciences in a manner, which will be both focused and enriched. The rule is always to avoid content-free eloquence and authority and to face hard questions on the base of research findings.
