Dear colleagues,
We would like to thank for joining the KBS 2019 Symposium in Utrecht, the Netherlands! I think we all had lively, enriching and fruitful contributions and discussions and – I hope – a good time too.
Evaluation survey
I would be grateful if you could complete a short evaluation survey (max. 10 minutes) which will help us to plan future conferences. The survey can be found at the link below and should take no more than 10 minutes to complete: https://psychru.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b1mhDMqqretHjRX.
Thank you for your help and I hope to see you all next year in Warsaw Poland!
Kind regards,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,

Share your research with the global alcohol research community all year round; join the Alcohol Research Grapevine today.
The Alcohol Research Grapevine is a free information hub for everyone with an interest in alcohol-related research. Registered users are updated on new research findings, as well what is going on ‘below the radar’ in terms of new and ongoing projects. It provides a quick and easy way to see what research is taking place, which topics need more research, and where opportunities for collaboration exist.
The Grapevine is an excellent way to boost your impact and dissemination. The hub is used by policy audiences, so it is a great way for all researchers to put their research in front of decision makers. Plus, data sets are published there, so it can help develop research proposals for future study.
