European Drugs Winter School 2023

Illicit drugs in Europe: demand, supply and public policies

Special Focus on Displaced Populations and Drug Related Issues

Our two week online Winter School (13th to 24th of February 2023) prepares professionals and students to meet the complex policy challenges that face Europe and the World in the field of drugs. Teaching staff include scientific experts from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), researchers, practitioners and policymakers.

This edition will have a special focus on displaced populations and drug related issues. Please note that our "special focus" means that some sessions will be dedicated to this topic. The winter school, however, aims at understanding ‘Illicit drugs in Europe: demand, supply and public policies’ in their globality and complexity. For clarifications, see the preliminary programme here.

The Winter School will be delivered through online and remote instruction. Following the success of the first Winter School, live sessions with experts and practitioners will be held from early afternoon until late afternoon (Lisbon Time, GMT +1 to GMT +3/4). Individual small exercises will be given and assessed every day, and an exam will be offered to those who wish to earn the credits. Virtual tours to field work will be included.
