The organizing committee of the EBPS 2024 Workshop “Novel pharmacotherapies for substance use and related mental health disorders: From basic science to societal impact” cordially invite you to join us for the biennial workshop of the European Behavioural Pharmacology Society which takes place September 25 to 27, 2024 at the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

This workshop will highlight cutting edge pharmacology-based interventions for substance use and related mental health disorders, including psychedelics, cannabinoids, neuropeptides, and more. Diverse panels and speakers have confirmed their participation, including Keynotes from Drs. David Nutt, Alex Kwan, Margaret Haney, and Lorenzo Leggio.

The workshop will also include panels consisting of experts in patient advocacy, clinical ethics, and regulatory frameworks, who will provide insights into the potential (and realized) challenges to implementing these novel interventions.

If anyone from your team may be interested, we have trainee travel awards due July 5^th and early bird registration is through July 12^th. We’re also happy to receive posters beyond the primary theme – anything related to substance use, pharmacology, or mental health (broadly defined) is totally welcome! We plan to select abstracts from the posters to present as ‘hot topic’ talks, and we also have funding to provide free childcare for attendees who wish to bring their families.
