Centre for Addiction Research Showcase 2015 - 6 July 2015
The Centre for Addiction Research’s inaugural research showcase was held on Monday 6 July 2015.
The Showcase brought together researchers, practitioners, policymakers and others working within the sector for an afternoon of presentations about the research interests and current projects of Centre members.
A mix of plenary and concurrent breakout sessions catered for the diverse interests of attendees, with presentations falling under four broad themes: public health and addictions, biomedical advances, interventions and treatment, and socio-cultural perspectives.
