We have opened an official Call for Expressions of Interest for the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Body Integrity Dysphoria (BID) – 2026.

WHAT

We are gathering indications of interest to help shape the format and scale of the symposium. The event is planned for Q4 2026. The final format—in person, online, or hybrid—as well as final dates and location, will be decided once this process is completed.

While grounded in Body Integrity Dysphoria (BID), the symposium is not limited strictly to BID alone. Contributions and participation addressing related questions of bodily ownership, autonomy, embodiment, identity, morality, and medical or legal authority are welcome.

Agreement on therapeutic approaches, clinical classifications, or regulatory status is not required. The aim is to foster informed awareness, sensible dialogue, and to move the discussion forward in a careful, critical, and constructive manner.

WHO

The symposium is open to academic scholars and non-academic participants alike, including clinicians, researchers, ethicists, legal experts, artists, independent researchers, activists, and individuals with or without lived experience.
