In order to stimulate cutting-edge research in the field and incite innovative partnerships to help unravel the mechanisms leading to harmonious social relations, this meeting will focus on stress and social interactions. Engaging speakers with internationally recognized expertise in the fields of developmental, neural, emotional, as well as cognitive function have accepted our invitation and will present social interactions as both cause and consequence of adversity. Specifically, topics will target the effects of adversity on socio-affective behaviours from different angles, including developmental time courses, decision-making, brain structure, neurogenesis, and plasticity, gene-environment interaction in vulnerability and resilience, as well as transgenerational transmission, and finally the sociocultural meaning of violence.
A variety of perspectives will be represented at the meeting, including both clinical and animal model, in order to promote stimulating discussions and foster collaboration on the mechanisms underlying the effects on psychological mechanisms and social behaviour of stress and adversity in the life of an individual, and of their lineage (prenatal, postnatal and transgenerational effects). Innovative research by attendees will also be given an outlet by selecting a limited number of outstanding submissions for brief oral presentations.
