As our hyper-globalized world brings people, substances, ideas, and potential sources of addiction closer together than ever, researchers, care providers, academics and professionals need to look at addiction studies in a new, dynamic light.

This two-week Summer Institute seeks to provide an interdisciplinary approach and lens to the study of addiction.

The programme is built around four themes:

• an overview of policies and the history of the concept of addiction
• contemporary prevention services
• the current state of affairs
• an assessment of treatment innovations
