With the FDA likely approving MDMA-assisted therapy as a treatment for PTSD later this year in the United States, and the evidence supporting the potential of psychedelic therapies further accumulating, 2024 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the therapeutic use of psychedelics. However, the path to approval and - crucially - patient access in Europe remains uncertain. 


The full-day Pathways to Access Summit (Paths) convenes key stakeholders from Europe and beyond to explore the opportunities and challenges around the development, approval, and eventual integration of psychedelic medicines into mainstream European health care.

This summit will unravel the complexities of European regulatory frameworks, addressing the diverse and ever-changing healthcare systems, assessments for pricing and reimbursement, and unique regulatory challenges. We will identify which stakeholders to engage with at each stage of the journey from bench to bedside and share best practices for doing so. We will discuss how to effectively navigate the European regulatory landscape, incorporating insights from other regulatory systems, and offer a well-rounded perspective on the different approaches and best practices to psychedelic medicine regulation.


With growing interest in the potential of psychedelic therapies for mental disorders, understanding the regulatory frameworks and pathways to access of these treatments is now more pertinent than ever.


At the full-day Pathways to Access Summit (PATHS), we will explore what the integration of psychedelic medicines into mainstream European mental health services will entail. During this interactive event, we will delve into the evolving pathways for accessing these innovative treatments, and focusing on safe, timely, and ethical implementation. We will unravel the complexities of European regulatory frameworks, addressing all different stages: from clinical research to reimbursable treatments, which stakeholders to involve in what phase, and how to navigate this process efficiently. 


PATHS is a stand-alone event leading up to ICPR, which builds on the insights of the 2022 Psychedelic Science, Ethics & Business Symposium.

Key Questions to be Addressed

With participation from key stakeholders, EU institutions and global experts, this summit will focus on the following questions:

  • What are the prevalent compliance and availability challenges several nations are presently wrestling with?

  • What can we learn from different countries and regulatory regimes that might be replicated—or avoided—in the EU?

  • Similarly, what can we learn from the challenges faced and strategies employed by stakeholders to roll out other first-in-class therapies?

  • What steps can regulators, drug developers, researchers, and policymakers take today to advance equitable access to psychedelic-assisted treatments?
