Abstracts for GAPC 2020 – deadline 29 July 2019
The Scientific Advisory Committee of GAPC2020 now invites abstract submissions from researchers and practitioners for a range of presentation types including oral presentations, workshops, table-tops and posters. Abstract Submission closes midnight Monday 29th July 2019.
Practitioners are, in particular, encouraged to submit abstracts. ‘Practitioners’ include any professional working in research translation, policy, advocacy and communications. The focus of the conference is alcohol policy; abstracts that describe findings from alcohol epidemiology are welcome provided they include discussion of clear implications for policy.
GAPC 2020’s focus is to build bridges between evidence, advocacy and alcohol control policy formulation and implementation. Priority will be given to presentations that offer critical or reflective comment rather than purely program or descriptive papers.
Previous conferences have also focused on advocacy, overcoming vested interests in alcohol policy development, and the need for international collaboration. GAPC 2020 will maintain this tradition with an overall focus on alcohol and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
More details on submission of abstracts can be found here.
