This year’s CINP Ethics Prize is awarded to Prof. K. Sonu Gaind in recognition of his exceptional leadership at the intersection of clinical psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and public policy.

Through decades of academic, clinical, and international service - and particularly through his influential, evidence-based engagement on the ethical dimensions of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in the context of mental illness - Prof. Gaind has helped shape ethical discourse, informed policy development, and advocated for the protection of vulnerable populations. His work exemplifies the principles of ethical responsibility, public engagement, and global impact that this award seeks to honour.

We are delighted that Prof. Gaind accepted our invitation to attend the CINP 2026 congress in Glasgow where he will receive his award.

We are excited to announce the preparation of an International Course in Psychopharmacology, designed for residents in psychiatry and neurology, psychiatrists, neurologists, and general practitioners, and everybody who wishes to deepen their understanding of the mechanisms and clinical applications of psychopharmacological treatments.

Through this program, CINP seeks to foster global learning, professional development, and the dissemination of evidence-based neuropsychopharmacology.

The course will be online, CME-accredited, with sessions held every Thursday for several consecutive weeks. The first edition of the course is planned for February - March 2026.

We join colleagues around the world in honouring his scientific legacy and remarkable impact on neuropsychopharmacology.
