Scandinavia's largest, longest-running mental health conference

30+ years of Schizofrenidagene
Since its inception in 1989 the annual mental health conference 'Schizofrenidagene' in Stavanger has developed into a conference arena that is unique in both national and international contexts.

Presenting the work of distinguished clinicians and researchers of the highest international standards, the conference has become a key meeting-point for mental health professionals. As Scandinavia's largest and longest-running interdisciplinary mental health festival, the week-long event has become an unmissable arena for networking, recharging professional batteries, and catching up with the latest developments in mental health care and culture.

Welcome to Schizofrenidagene - the highlight of the mental health year!

Green and non-profit As an annual event with over 5000 participants, we think a lot about how we can be as environmentally-friendly as possible. 

During the conference we use eco-friendly certified hotels, we print (where necessary) on recycled paper, serve local produce for lunch, use eco-taxis, and rely where possible on digital communication forms.

We are proud to be a non-profit concern, organised by Stavanger University Hospital Mental Health Services, the Mental Health Information Foundation and a range of statutory and non-statutory bodies.

You can rest assured that your conference fee goes wholly to cover the cost of the conference and is not used for private gain.
