HRI Rome 2015: Sell out conference demonstrates gathering momentum of homeopathy research

The Homeopathy Research Institute’s 2nd International Research Conference, ‘Cutting Edge Research in Homeopathy’, took place in Rome in June 2015. With a programme dedicated solely to high quality scientific research, this event built on the success of our inaugural conference in Barcelona two years ago. Declared by attendees to be ‘even bigger and better than Barcelona’, the HRI team was delighted to hear that the Rome conference exceeded expectations.

Homeopathy Research of the Highest Calibre

The primary goal for this conference was to gather together the best researchers in the world, from as many subfields of homeopathy research as possible. Thanks to input from HRI’s Scientific Advisory Committee, plus other expert reviewers from around the world who kindly volunteered their time, this goal was achieved.

250 delegates came from 39 countries to hear presentations by speakers from 17 countries, making this a truly international event.

The high calibre of the 35 oral presentations was evident throughout the intensive programme which included talks by six Professors and 28 Doctors (PhDs and/or medics), from institutions as far afield as the University of Washington (USA), University of Berne (Switzerland), Universidade Estual de Maringa (Parana, Brazil) and the Universities of Verona and Bologna (Italy).

Discussions of new findings captured the ‘cutting edge’ theme of the conference, from developments in fundamental research investigating the mechanism of action of homeopathic medicines, to cross-disciplinary topics such as the growing evidence that homeopathic remedies can modulate gene expression and can exert a ‘field effect’.
