University of Groningen, Netherlands
The University of Groningen's medical center (UMCG) is a leading European hub for psychedelic research, coordinating the EU-funded €6.5M PsyPal clinical trial studying psilocybin for psychological distress in palliative care patients. UMCG also hosts an annual interdisciplinary summer school in psychedelic research in collaboration with the OPEN Foundation and partner universities.

Blossom’s read
University of Groningen, via UMCG, looks like a serious academic convenor rather than a commercial psychedelic school. Its summer school is best understood as an interdisciplinary research primer for people who want to understand the evidence base, methods, and live debates, not as clinician certification or practitioner skills training. The line-up and framing suggest real depth, with staff such as Prof. Robert Schoevers and Joost Breeksema bringing a credible clinical, research, and OPEN Foundation lineage into the room.
Who University Groningen is for
Best for students, early-career researchers, and academically minded clinicians who want a solid overview of psychedelic research across disciplines. It also suits people exploring whether to pursue a research or academic career in the field.
Prerequisites
No formal disciplinary prerequisites were stated on the 2026 page. The page says students from Bachelor to Postdoc level and all academic backgrounds are welcome, but applicants must submit a CV and a 300 to 400 word motivation letter.
Accreditation & recognition
The source states participants receive a certificate after completing the entire educational and research course. I found no evidence of professional licensure, CME, CE, or formal external accreditation on the source pages reviewed.
Cost
For 2026, the fee is 375 euro for Bachelor and Master students, and 500 euro for PhD students, postdocs, and university alumni. The page also says two participants from abroad can receive a grant covering 50% of the fee.
What you walk away with
Learners leave with up-to-date knowledge of psychedelic research across academic disciplines, an understanding of research methodologies and challenges, practical insight into how psychedelic studies are conducted, and a certificate of participation. The school also aims to help participants think about career pathways in psychedelics and argue from scientific evidence in debate.
