Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to let you know that the Summer Institute on Alcohol, Drugs
and Addiction will be held at the International School for Humanities and
Social Sciences of the Universiteit van Amsterdam from July 8- 20, 2007.
The Summer Institute offers students of various disciplines and professions
a great opportunity to advance their knowledge in the field of addiction
studies in an international environment. The Institute is an intensive
two-week summer programme that seeks to provide an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of addiction and to promote opportunities for
international networking among participants.
The Institute welcomes individuals with a focused interest in addiction
research and treatment, Master’s and PhD students, NGO staff working on
addiction-related issues, professionals in human services, practitioners,
and advocates.
There are NFP fellowships available for Summer Institute participants from
57 selected countries. For more information, see http://www.nuffic.nl/nfp/

We expect a 2007 class of approximately 15-20 students. The Institute's
classes are intensive small group seminars with discussions, excursions,
faculty lectures and guest lectures by prominent people in the field.
The scientific director is Helen Levine, and this year’s faculty includes
