The Executive Programme Committee (EPC) is a professional body composed of distinguished professionals from the harm reduction field. Their role is to create the conference programme by organising sessions themselves or by creating sessions out of the abstracts that have been submitted online.
The EPC members come from around the world and from numerous professional backgrounds (including large multi-lateral organisations, harm reduction networks, research institutes and organisations for people who use drugs). Their knowledge, experience and skills guarantee that the conference programme is of the highest quality.
