The Universities of Stirling and Glasgow are delighted to be hosting the 2025 annual symposium which will be held from 9th-13th June in Glasgow. Famous for castles and clans, intrigue, and independence, as well as science, innovation and discovery, Scotland is a modern country rich in history and full of drama. For years, Scotland has welcomed the world's greatest thinkers, pioneers, innovators and leaders and we are looking forward to continuing the tradition of innovation and inspiration with the KBS 2025 conference.
Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city with excellent transport links to the rest of the country as well as a direct rail link to the centre of London, plus an international airport with direct flights to 57 destinations including all London airports, the USA, Canada, major European airports and Dubai. The main conference venue – the James McCune Smith Learning Hub – is a modern purpose-built venue positioned at the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant West End district. The building has large open spaces leading to its many lecture theatres and seminar rooms making it perfect for this 5-day conference.
Director of ISMH and Organising Committee Chair Professor Niamh Fitzgerald said:
“We are delighted to be the hosts of KBS2025 in Scotland and looking forward to making the 50th Anniversary conference a highly memorable and enjoyable experience for all delegates. As always, we are looking forward to lively, supportive discussions on emerging research on all aspects of alcohol use, problems, interventions and policies”.
“We are particularly focused on supporting colleagues from low- and middle-income countries to attend, and hope that delegates will take the opportunity to organise side events and meetings to maximise our precious time together as a research community. The spirit of international cooperation will be strong at KBS Scotland, and we have a few surprises up our sleeves to add to the 50th Anniversary experience”.
Co-host, Professor Jim Lewsey from the School of Health & Wellbeing, University of Glasgow, added: “KBS 2025 will be held in the beautiful surroundings of the University of Glasgow and its campus that combines modern facilities with over 500 years of history. At the School of Health & Wellbeing, we are looking forward to welcoming you and sharing our alcohol research with the world.”
The 50th Annual Alcohol Epidemiology Symposium of the Kettil Brunn Society is supported by the Glasgow Convention Bureau, the Institute of Alcohol Studies, and Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems. Other sponsors to be confirmed shortly.
