Suicide has a terrible toll on most\, if not all\, societies around the world. Although we have made significan t progress over the last decades in our understanding of risk factors for suicide\, as well as in intervention and prevention strategies\, much has yet to be learned and remains to be done. The 2013 IASR World Congress is the first of its kind. It is the first meeting of the International Acade my for Suicide Research (IASR)\, organized by the Quebec Suicide Research Network (RQRS)\, in partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide P revention (AFSP)\, and in collaboration with the Association québécoise de prévention du suicide (AQPS)\, the Canadian Association for Suicide Preve ntion (CASP) and the Fédération Trauma Suicide Liaison Urgence (TSLU). Thi s meeting will provide an inspiring forum for high level discussions on su icide research\, suicide prevention and intervention. The theme of the co ngress is Suicide: From research to practice. We are planning a number of timely and stimulating plenary sessions to discuss contemporary issues on suicide research\, avenues for suicide prevention and innovative ways to i ntervene on suicidal behavior. Other sessions will offer unique opportunit ies for engaged dialogue between researchers and clinicians\, stakeholders and decision-makers\, promoting both translation of research findings to practice\, as well as informing research direction by clinical and prevent ion needs. I am excited by the high-caliber content of all planned congre ss activities\, and I am sure you will be stimulated by this meeting. On b ehalf of all the members of the organizing team\, and all our partners\, I would like to express to all participants\, faculty\, and congressmen\, a cordial welcome.
