CALL FOR PAPERS
The ESSD was founded in 1990 to promote social science approaches to drugs research, with special reference to the situation in Europe (http://www.essd-research.eu). The society holds an annual conference providing scope for collaboration and co-operation among researchers working in the drugs field.
ESSD members and other researchers who wish to attend the 31st Annual Conference are invited to submit abstracts of their conference papers no later than 10th April 2020
Abstracts (see themes and details below) should be sent as a Word file to essd2020.powi@univie.ac.at
If you wish to attend the conference without giving a presentation, please inform us in advance.
Presentations should preferably include a European dimension (such as reporting on research or issues from more than one European country, comparisons between data from European studies), and/or theoretical analysis that draws inferences from the local to the global. Presentations restricted to the description of interventions or (local) policies will not be accepted. Qualitative studies are particularly welcome. Each presentation lasts for 15 minutes, followed by ample time for jointly discussing the presentations of each session. The conference language is English.
