Upcoming Events
4th European Alcohol Policy conference. 21 – 22 June 2010, Brussels
This conference will be the fourth in a series of alcohol policy conferences ( Warsaw 2004, Helsinki 2006, Barcelona 2008).
The purpose of the conference is to promote and disseminate knowledge about current thinking on alcohol and alcohol policy matters; to build capacity and to promote networking and coalition building between and within the European countries. The main aim of the conference is to stimulate action in alcohol policy.
The conference location, in the heart of the European Union, will provide a unique opportunity to involve a wider audience and engage in dialogue with policy makers at the European level.
In addition, in May 2010 the World Health Assembly will have voted on the adoption of the Global Alcohol Strategy. Europe has a strong position and responsibility, being the world's leader on alcohol consumption and an important exporter of alcoholic beverages.
Early registration fee will be 300 Euros until 15 May. After this date, the registration fee will be 350 Euros. Participants have the option to join us for only one of the conference days, at a price of 200 Euros. Organizations from low income countries can apply for a reduced fee.
The conference is organized by Eurocare (European Alcohol Policy Alliance), co-financed by the European Commission, and co-sponsored by the WHO (World Health Organization).

Alcohol, culture and motherhood. 24– 27 August 2010, Maynooth (Ireland)
For centuries we have been confronted with "crisis" notions of maternal consumption throughout Europe. Recent treatments of alcohol and health have reiterated these feminized concerns. Without engaging in "problem deflation" we will interrogate how crises are imagined and sustained.
