Relationships between individuals are the fabric of human civilization. These relationships are powerfully influenced by our empathy and compassion for each other. Recently, substantial progress has been made in understanding the neurobiological basis of empathy and compassion.

 
The Neuroscience of Empathy and Compassion Conference brings together leading scientists who have all contributed to elucidating various facets of empathy and compassion, their neural correlates and functions. Read more about our SPEAKERS and the PROGRAMME in the menue above.
