On November 19 and 20, 2026, the 2nd International Science Conference for Innovation in Mind-Body Medicine (ISC-MBM) will take place in Witten as a hybrid event.
Following the successful launch, the conference will once again offer the opportunity to explore key topics in mind-body medicine in depth together with international experts from various specialist fields. The focus will include molecular mechanisms, neurobiological correlates, the use of artificial intelligence and integrative approaches to holistic health.
