The 31st Annual Conference of the European Society for Social Drug Research (ESSD) in 2020 will be held online. Given the COVID-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions, the ESSD Board and Organising Committee decided to hold this year’s conference as a virtual event. This decision is based on the strong and positive responses received from ESSD members participating in the recent online survey.
The ESSD 2020 online conference will take place from Thursday, 24 September to Friday, 25 September, 2020 and is organised by the Department of Political Science of the University of Vienna.
The 31st Annual Conference of the ESSD will focus on a variety of themes including drug related implications of COVID-19, new trends in drug use and digitisation of drug markets. Additionally, there will be presentations on theories and concepts for drug policy. Lastly, methods in drug research and ethical challenges in drug research will be discussed. Presentations should preferably include a European dimension, and/or theoretical analysis that draws inferences from the local to the global.
Online registration is free of charge but required for presenting and non-presenting participants. Registration is now open and closes on September 20, 2020. No conference fees apply.
