New EU-funded network to support psychedelic research across Europe

A new European research network focused on psychedelics has been approved for funding under the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) programme.

Titled “Psychedelic Renaissance: Turn On, Tune In and Drop In”, the initiative brings together researchers from 22 countries across Europe to build a collaborative platform for psychedelic research. The network aims to lay the foundation for future large-scale projects, multicentre clinical trials, open-access data sharing, and advanced big data analysis—with the ultimate goal of supporting the implementation of psychedelic therapies in mental health care.

COST is an EU-funded programme that enables multidisciplinary research collaboration through over 300 networks across science and technology. In 2023, PAREA was honoured to speak at a COST meeting in Brussels on “Advancing mental health research through networking and collaboration in Europe.”

Congratulations to all involved in securing this important new funding stream. PAREA’s Founder Tadeusz Hawrot is pleased to be among the participants and looks forward to contributing to this ambitious effort to strengthen Europe’s psychedelic research landscape.
