We are pleased to announce that the abstract submission system for Harm Reduction 2013 is now open – and will close on 30th November 2012. All delegates who wish to present at the conference – either orally or with a poster – are encouraged to make submissions about innovative harm reduction services, new or ground-breaking research, effective or successful advocacy campaigns or key policy discussions or debates. In addition, the Programme Committee is particularly keen to receive abstract submissions related to the conference theme – ‘The Value/s of Harm Reduction’, and have produced a ‘Guide for Developing and Submitting an Abstract’ to further assist delegates. We encourage all delegates to read through this information and disseminate amongst colleagues before submitting an abstract.
