Organised by the European Forum for Urban Security (Efus) as part of its Coalition of the Willing against Drug-Related Violence and Trafficking, this conference in Brussels brings together representatives from European cities, policymakers, practitioners and experts to discuss local responses to drug-related challenges. The programme focuses on how local governance can balance security, public health and social cohesion — and offers the chance to hear directly from cities sharing practical experience from across the continent. The conference is followed the next day by the Efus General Assembly, providing further opportunity for networking and policy discussion. Note: registration priority is given to Efus members.

Who this is for:

• Community safety practitioners with an interest in drug policy and harm reduction
• Policymakers and strategists working on substance use at local or national level
• Anyone engaged in European cooperation on urban safety
