Project objective
Late-stage clinical trials show that psychedelic therapy (PT) has the potential to revolutionize mental disorder treatments, answering a huge and increasing unmet need. INTEGRATE is a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral Doctoral Network (DN) for training and educating future leaders/experts in implementation of PT in society and healthcare. Four key challenges are identified: 1) The mechanisms of action of PT remain elusive, 2) Lack of clinical gold standards, 3) Legal, financial, and regulatory obstacles for PT access, and 4) Hype, hope, and ethical challenges. Through interdisciplinary research, training, and collaboration, INTEGRATE aims to advance psychedelic science, optimize treatment protocols, and address ethical and regulatory challenges to improve mental healthcare. It addresses the urgent need for well-trained experts to navigate the complex landscape of PT in healthcare. The project will train 16 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) to become T-shaped professionals, equipped with deep disciplinary knowledge and broad interdisciplinary skills. Through collaborative research, innovative training, and strategic secondments, INTEGRATE will tackle the key challenges in PT research with matching research and innovation objectives. The network brings together leading academic institutions, industry partners, and non-profit organizations across Europe, fostering a collaborative environment for advancing psychedelic science and improving mental healthcare.
