Dear colleagues, dear friends,
After the unfortunate cancellation of the date in Geneva, I have the great pleasure on behalf of the Swiss Society of Addiction Medicine (SSAM) to welcome you the 24 June 2022 in Bern to the 8th SWISS ADDICTION RESEARCH DAY. This event is not only a welcome opportunity to exchange ideas in person after months of isolation due to the pandemic, but also an opportunity to get an overview of some current scientific developments in the field of addiction. For this year, a focus topic has emerged that has a certain tradition in Switzerland: research on psychedelics.
The SWISS ADDICTION RESEARCH DAY will take place in the house of «Zum Äusseren Stand», Zeughausgasse 17, 3011 Bern on 24 June 2022.
Traditionally, the RESEARCH DAY of the SSAM has afforded an opportunity to honour superior accomplishments in the field of addiction research. For the sixth time, the Swiss Addiction Research Award (SARDA) will be handed over on the occasion of our research day to excellent scientists in order to honor their outstanding performance.
I would therefore like to welcome you to Bern
Daniele Zullino
