Berzelius Symposium 84 European Debate on Evidence-based Alcohol Policy Fifth European Alcohol Policy Conference 18 – 19 October 2012 in Stockholm



The AMPHORA Project

 Alcohol is the third leading risk factor for death and disability in the European Union, not only contributing to avoidable health care and criminal justice system costs, but also harming European society and the economy.

In 2006, the European Commission adopted an EU strategy to support Member States in reducing the harm caused by alcohol.

AMPHORA is a four-year €4million European alcohol policy project co-financed by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of research of the European Commission. Coordinated by the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona (HCPB) in Spain, AMPHORA aims to bring new evidence on policies to reduce the harm done by alcohol to European citizens and societies.

 The Swedish Society of Medicine will organise a symposium in October 2012 to support a dialogue between alcohol science and policy and to inform Future directions of European actions.

Welcome to Stockholm in October 2012!
