The 45th KBS Symposium will be hosted by the Trimbos Institute, the Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction, the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, and the Municipality of Utrecht.

The principal aims of the Kettil Bruun Society (KBS) are to investigate social, epidemiological and cross-cultural research on alcohol use, to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge and experiences among researchers from various disciplines, and to encourage international collaboration. 

The primary purpose of the symposium is to provide a forum where researchers involved in studies on alcohol can exchange ideas about their ongoing research. The scope of the symposium includes studies of determinants and consequences of drinking, drinking cultures and patterns, social and institutional responses to drinking-related harms prevention and care.
