The International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) will hold its 2023 Annual Meeting – the organization’s 22nd – from Wednesday, May 3 through Saturday, May 6, 2023, bringing together a global, multidisciplinary group of hundreds of autism researchers, clinicians, advocates, self-advocates, and students to exchange the latest scientific learnings and discoveries that are advancing the expanding understanding of autism and its complexities. This year’s meeting will be held in-person in Stockholm, Sweden at Stockholmsmässan, the largest exhibition facility in the Nordic region.
The INSAR Annual Meeting is the world’s largest gathering of scientists and specialists who continue to catalyze innovative research into all aspects of autism spectrum disorder, including its nature, causes, and treatments. The 22nd INSAR Annual Meeting will include in-person presentations of oral papers and posters, and panel sessions and demonstrations of new and emerging technologies. Select sessions will be recorded during the live event and repurposed as separate educational offerings starting in June 2023.
This year’s INSAR Lifetime Achievement Award will honor Dr. Jan Buitelaar, Radboud University. The INSAR Research Advocate Award will be presented to Harald Neerland, president of Autism-Europe. Other awards presented at this year’s meeting will include the 2023 INSAR Cultural Diversity Research Award, which will honor the SPARK Research Team, as well as the INSAR Early Career Investigator Awards, Dissertation Awards and Slifka/ Ritvo Innovation in Autism Research Award.
For the first time, recorded video interviews with selected scientists discussing their newsworthy research will be available to media beginning May 3. The researchers will also be available for one-on-one interviews prior to the INSAR 2023 Annual Meeting and during the conference.
