The EAAT Conference has been developed to create a series of dynamic conferences with a broad spectrum of non-substance dependant and substance-dependant subject material. 

EAAT provides a focus for understanding the scientific medical and social bases of addiction and a discussion forum to further develop relevant therapies throughout Europe . EAAT also provides a central platform through which information can be disseminated across country and cultural boundaries.

The EAAT will approach the problem of addiction from many different angles, and foster the evaluation and development of research strategies and treatment programmes.

Through the annual conference, and international collaborative ventures, the EAAT aims to improve our understanding of prevention and treatment of addictive behaviours, with much emphasis on psychopharmacological treatment.

EAAT 2007 had over 400 registered delegates from nearly thirty countries. Over the three days of the conference the audience heard from seventy contributors on key topics in addition including Alcohol, Smoking, Cocaine, Non-Substance Related Addiction, Health Professionals & Addiction and Drug Testing.

The poster exhibition gave over 40 authors the opportunity to present their research to an international audience. Social activities including a drinks reception and Speakers' Dinner gave conference delegates the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with key individuals in the field.
