From internet and smart phone use addiction to artificial intelligence simulating the effects of psychoactive substances, an online international symposium – Addictions of the 21st Century: Challenges and Effective Responses – will evaluate the “crossover” between psychoactive substances and behavioural addictions.
To be held online on 15 July, and co-organised by the Council of Europe’s drug policy cooperation platform the Pompidou Group and the Russian Federation’s Health Ministry, the symposium will focus on two major themes: behavioural addictions as facilitated by technologies and the link between substance use and problematic use of new technologies. The event is open to the public, with English/Russian interpretation.
