SPACE

SPACE is a Portuguese scientific association founded in May 2021 by psychiatry physicians. It is based in Portugal and appears to operate primarily as a national scientific and educational association focused on psychedelic medicine. Its public-facing work centers on studying, disseminating, and building knowledge about the therapeutic properties and uses of psychedelic substances, especially in clinical mental health settings.

SPACE frames part of its role as supporting regulation and clinical guidance for psychedelic use, while also promoting ethical practice, collaboration with scientific and governmental bodies, and outreach to health professionals, patient associations, and the general public. The organization also publishes educational resources and scientific content on psychedelics and related topics, including ketamine, psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ayahuasca, and ibogaine. Its current web presence suggests active educational programming and field-building rather than direct service delivery or formal political campaigning.
