48th Annual Research Society on Alcohol (RSA) Scientific Meeting/International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) Congress

48th Annual Research Society on Alcohol (RSA) Scientific Meeting/International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) Congress is organized by Research Society on Alcohol (RSA), International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) and will be held from Jun 21 - 25, 2025 at Hyatt Regency New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America.

Description:
The primary goal of the Annual Scientific Meeting (“Meeting”) is to provide a forum for alcohol researchers – from all disciplines – to present their latest findings and to learn about new research developments in an environment that will provide interaction at both the professional and personal level.

The Meeting begins with an Opening Reception (meet and greet style) on Saturday evening and ends with the Closing Ceremony (sit-down dinner with presentations) on Wednesday evening. The Sunday through Wednesday program includes plenary lectures, symposia, workshops, roundtable discussions, Enoch Gordis Award and Doctoral Student Small Grants paper sessions and poster sessions.

The Program Committee is made up of RSA members who represent a wide range of scientific specialties.  Their goal is to develop a well-balanced program that adequately reflects the broad range of interests of the RSA membership and non-member alcohol researchers.  It is important to note that topics covered and the balance achieved in the overall meeting program primarily rests upon proposals submitted.

We have a star-studded array of symposia presenting cutting-edge scientific knowledge and practice experience on approaches to minimise harm from alcohol, other psychoactive substances, addictive behaviours such as gambling and online gaming. This will include the mechanisms of harm, prevention, brief interventions and treatment. Of the 58 symposia, 30 will focus on alcohol, 19 broadly on drugs and addictions, 4 specifically on opioid treatments and 5 on gambling and gaming.
