uniMIND is a global network of academic journal clubs, open to academics of all levels and disciplines. The common factor across of all is the focus on mind, brain, and psychedelic research.
Local groups operate mostly autonomously through regular meetings in which research literature, academic talks, documentaries, or projects are discussed. Besides, there are monthly central web-sessions with invited authors and the yearly uniMIND Symposium. Continue reading below to learn more!
uniMIND would not exist without its global network of local groups. Most of them are registered associations at universities and they meet at least once per month.During meetings, scientific literature, academic talks, documentaries, or the participants’ own projects are usually discussed.
(uniMIND global map coming soon!)
The monthly uniMIND Central Sessions are web-based, moderated journal clubs with invited authors. For each session, one article is prepared and discussed. Advance reading and active participation are expected.
The sessions are announced and can be joined through the MIND Community Plattform (MCP) and the MIND Events calendar.

The Symposium is our network’s event highlight. We come together at a different university each year for a mini-conference with talks from senior and junior academics, group discussions, and social events.

With several established uniMIND groups, there may be one at your location already. Check the map for details and contact information.
Participating in a uniMIND group does not require a MIND Membership – all you need to do is contact the respective coordinator and join their group.
Being part of an academic journal club has many advantages for you, your network and skills, and your career. We cannot list them all here, but a detailed list of benefits can be found in the Expectations Guide linked further below!
Being a uniMIND Coordinator is an honorable task. You will:
become the link between your group and the MIND Foundation,
come in direct contact with the Coordinators of all other uniMIND groups, gaining access to a global academic network
contribute to the critical discussion of scientific discoveries
spread information beyond the “psychedelic bubble” by forming and inviting interested people into a student association
gain a critical advantage in scientific and organizational skills, and a transdisciplinary approach to complex scientific topics
Coordinating a uniMIND group requires an active MIND Membership:
