ABOUT THE NPS CONFERENCE SERIES
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of new psychoactive substances (NPS) detected across the world. This phenomenon has largely been driven by globalisation, the internet, and rapid technological advancements, and it poses numerous challenges in terms of detecting, measuring, and monitoring these substances; understanding patterns of use and associated harms; and developing appropriate public health responses.
Faced with the many challenges posed by NPS, the International Society for the Study of Emerging Drugs (ISSED) strives to strengthen multidisciplinary and international collaboration, enhance knowledge, and improve the quality of information-sharing in this complex area. In this context, the NPS conference series, which started in Budapest in 2012, has become the major international event on NPS, attracting hundreds of participants worldwide.
It is jointly organised by the Society for the Study of Emerging Drugs (ISSED), in partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the European Union Drug Agency (EUDA), the University of Trento and the University of Hertfordshire.
