NDRI to host major international drug policy conference in 2026

The National Drug Research Institute (NDRI), at Curtin University, has been confirmed as the host for the 2026 International Society for the Study of Drug Policy (ISSDP) Conference.

It is the first time the annual event is being held in Perth and the first time since 2016 it has been hosted in Australia.
