Since 2010, the Mind-Body Interface International Symposium, hosted annually by China Medical University in Taichung, has served as a leading international conference in neuropsychiatry, with a strong focus on innovative translational research. The symposium has consistently received national recognition for its academic excellence and contributions to global scientific exchange.

 

This year, the symposium is co-organized by the Taiwanese Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research (TSNPR) and China Medical University, and is once again held in collaboration with the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research (ISNPR) as its Regional Meeting, further enhancing its global academic impact and interdisciplinary reach.

 

Influential scientists from around the world gather in Taichung each year to share cutting-edge research in translational neuroscience.
We are pleased to announce that the symposium will take place November 14–16, 2026, in Taichung, Taiwan.
