The 8th European Society for Prevention Research (EUSPR) Conference and Members’ Meeting was held from 20th – 22nd September at the Federal Ministry of Health and Women’s Affairs in Vienna. Of the ISSUP team, Livia Edegger and Ally Lee were in attendance. The focus of this year’s conference was ‘quality in prevention’. Over the course of the jammed-packed few days, a great variety of presentations were given by several key figures in the field of substance use prevention in Europe, as well as a number of early careers researchers from across the continent.

The event allowed the opportunity for ISSUP to engage and interact with both researchers and practitioners in the field.
The occasion was also a special one for the ISSUP staff as Jeff Lee, the organisation’s Executive Director, was awarded the EUSPR Sloboda Medal for his sustained contribution to the development of Prevention Science in Europe and internationally.
We’d like to thank everyone at EUSPR for welcoming us and we look forward to next year!
