Keynote Lectures at IACAPAP 2026:
Ideas shaping the future of Child & Adolescent Mental Health
From digital safety to global equity, biology of ADHD, and climate resilience, this year’s keynote lectures bring you bold, practice-changing insights from leading voices around the world. Barbara Franke (The Netherlands) traces the journey from basic science to clinical applicability in Biological mechanisms of ADHD across the lifespan. Yewande Olufunmilayo Oshodi (Nigeria) amplifies Voices from the Global South, challenging stigma and inequity with locally grounded solutions.
We’ll also dive into mechanisms of treatment with Argyris Stringaris (UK), unpack nonsuicidal self-injury with Paul L. Plener (Austria), and outline a global training framework with Ayesha Mian (Pakistan). Tycho Dekkers (The Netherlands) calls for a more contextual narrative of ADHD, while Andrés S. Martin (USA) and Cecil Prins‑Aardema (The Netherlands) offer candid reflections on clinicians’ lived experience. Laelia Benoit (France) spotlights climate change and youth mental health; Sven Bölte (Sweden) presents Psychiatry 2.0 using WHO’s ICF; and Bruno Falissard (France) asks whether our field carries invisible colonial dynamics.
Plus, a growing roster of confirmed keynote speakers, including Hilary Cass (UK), Kapil Sayal (UK), Chiara Servili (Switzerland), Philip Shaw (UK), Guilherme V. Polanczyk (Brazil), Ilina Singh (UK), Olayinka Olusola Omigbodun (Nigeria), and Tobias Banaschewski (Germany) will help you rethink the future of care across systems, cultures, and contexts.
