INEBRIA-PEACHD 2026
Health promotion through brief interventions:
Broadening the scope to communities and lifestyles
This year INEBRIA together with the EU-funded PEACHD Project will jointly organise the 22nd Annual Meeting, to be held in Prague, Czech Republic, from Wednesday 14th October – Friday 16th October 2026.
Bringing together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, public health practitioners and community actors, the conference will provide a high-level forum for advancing evidence and practice in screening and brief interventions (SBI) for alcohol and other substances, and other lifestyle risk factors, especially in the prevention of cancer and other NCDs.
With a strong scientific programme and a fully in-person format designed to maximise engagement, the conference will offer plenary sessions, parallel workshops, and opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange at the historical seat of the Charles University in the heart of central Europe.
