ICARA Board Meeting, Dundee, UK: November 10th-11th

The School of Health Sciences at the University of Dundee hosted an in-person ICARA Board Meeting on 10th and 11th November 2022. In this special meeting, we focused on developing an action plan for ICARA, in line with our main aims of supporting the strengthening of research capacity needs in the Global South. Three sub-groups formed to take forward three areas of work: 1) Developing a network of ATOD researchers from the Global South; 2) Supporting research institutions and researchers’ understanding of managing conflicts of interest; and 3) Supporting the promotion of ‘Alcohol, No Ordinary Commodity’.

Plans were made to host two workshops in 2023 at the KBS 2023 and GAPC 2023 conferences, to explore needs around research capacity in the Global South.
