Early Career Researchers

For the first time this year, Lisbon Addictions will feature a dedicated programme for Early Career Researchers (ECR). The initiative is open to any individual currently enrolled in a research programme who is attending the conference. The primary aim of the initiative is to inspire and empower young scientists by providing them with a dynamic platform for exchanging ideas and for accessing valuable information crucial for their career progression and personal development.

The ECR programme is an integral component of the conference and is coordinated by the EMCDDA in collaboration with other organising partners. The programme comprises dedicated events for networking, specialised sessions for capacity building, mentoring opportunities, and an ECR award recognising the most promising research endeavours. On-site activities at the conference will be preceded by remote online sessions in the run-up to the event. Further details will follow once the programme is finalised, but interested individuals may enquire about eligibility via email.
