h Triple i | Virtual Conference | 16th–19th June 2020 Welcome Address
Dear intuitive, imaginative and innovative guest,
We are happy to welcome you at the Triple i Virtual Conference, event this
year brought to you by Slovene Centre for Suicide Research, De Leo Fund
Onlus and International Association for Suicide Prevention!
The conference is an international annual event organized by the Slovene
Centre for Suicide Research (Andrej Marušič Institute, University of Primor-
ska) in collaboration with FAMNIT (University of Primorska). Our aim is to in-
crease awareness and knowledge about suicide and thus contribute to the
development of suicide prevention and postvention activities.
In recent years, the conference has developed into a platform for fruitful
discussions among distinguished experts in suicide research and preventi-
on, interacting with young and perspective suicidologists and other mental
health professionals.
Regrettably, due to the epidemiological situation regarding the spread of
the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we had to cancel this year’s Triple i conference. None-
theless, employees from different organizations connected and prepared a
virtual version of the traditional conference, as we want to enable eager par-
ticipants to listen to and interact with world-renowned suicidologists. The
exchange of knowledge and experience regarding suicidal behaviour is all
the more important in these new and challenging circumstances. And at-
tendance at the virtual conference thus enables just that: the opportunity
to listen to new and innovative findings in the field of suicidology while al-
so connecting and exchanging knowledge with participants from countries
around the world.
The Triple i 2020 programme includes topics of suicide research and clinical
work with suicidal patients and thus addresses theory, research, prevention
and interventions in suicidology. Each lecture will be followed by a discus-
sion in which the participants will be invited to share their views. Existing
difficulties in both research and clinical work will be specifically addressed.
Let the Triple i Conference be an opportunity for you to express and practice
your intuition, imagination and innovative ideas.
