Alcohol consumption has a significant impact on both morbidity and mortality in Europe and represents a considerable economic and social burden on society. Effective strategies recommended by experts and international health authorities to reduce the burden of alcohol consumption are now well established. However, their implementation in France and many other European countries remains complex.
During this scientific symposium, International researchers, NGOs and scientific experts will share their knowledge and experience on two key scientific challenges towards the prevention of alcohol consumption:
- How to take into consideration the latest scientific evidence in order to develop and promote low-risk drinking guidelines and how to implement them effectively?
- The commercial determinants of health: what impact on prevention policies and what levers of action for public health?
The symposium is intended for all public health stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers interested in the prevention of alcohol-related harms and in the reduction of the burden of alcohol consumption. Individuals with affiliations with the alcohol industry and those with a conflict of interest related to the purpose of this symposium are not invited to participate.
- The symposium will take place on December 3, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at TownHall Europe in Brussels and will also be accessible via Zoom.
- Presentations and discussions will be in English, but translation into French will be available.
- For any specific accessibility requirements (e.g. translation to sign language, live transcription), please contact the organizers by November 8th.
