Join us on 13–14 May 2026 via Zoom for the
17th Intuition, Imagination and Innovation in Suicidology conference!
Held online via Zoom, the event brings together experts, early-career scholars, professionals, and individuals with lived experiences from across disciplines and regions while exploring new directions in suicide prevention.
Organised annually by the UP IAM Slovene Centre for Suicide Research, the conference is held in memory of the late Prof. Andrej Marušič and continues his commitment to advancing suicide research and prevention.
The programme spans suicide research, clinical approaches and prevention strategies, while addressing current challenges and emerging ideas in the field. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussion following each lecture, making the event both academically rigorous and genuinely interactive.
Students, researchers and practitioners dedicated to understanding and preventing suicidal behaviour are warmly invited to join us for two days of professional dialogue and shared commitment to advancing suicide prevention worldwide.
Warm welcome!
Prijazno vabljeni!
prof. Diego De Leo
prof. Vita Poštuvan
