Call for Abstracts: Drugs Research Network for Scotland (DRNS) Annual Conference 2025

Deadline for submission: Friday 7th March 2025

Notified of outcome: By mid April

The Drugs Research Network for Scotland (DRNS) has moved into Phase III and is now hosted at the University of Edinburgh. During our first year, we held an online event on 17th November 2023 to gather views from stakeholders to identify future priorities for Scottish drugs research. The following priorities were identified:

1 Harms and drug related deaths

2 Treatment and recovery

3 Legal changes

4 Drugs as medicine

We are inviting potential contributors to submit abstracts that fit within the Scottish drugs research priority themes OR on broader perspectives of drug use, including research outside of Scotland.

Please note that we welcome contributions from researchers as well as those within third sector organisations.

Please email mcalnan [at] ed [dot] ac [dot] uk with your abstract submissions by 7th March 2025. We will notify you of outcome by the middle of April.
