Conferences

The International Narcotics Research Conference (INRC) is an international forum for preclinical and clinical researchers to strengthen our knowledge of opioid pharmacology and function. Our society provides the opportunity to share cutting-edge and pioneering advancements related to all disciplines of opioid research. The INRC meetings are a platform for the design of evidence-based guidance for constructive use of opioids for pain management and understanding of opioid misuse and abuse.

There are exciting scientific and social programs that bring together basic and clinical researchers from all around the world working in the field of opioids, narcotics, pain, and addiction. The program includes 3 plenary lectures: Robert W. Gereau IV (Washington University St. Louis), Brigitte Kieffer (University of Strasbourg-INSERM), and Christopher J. Evans (University of California Los Angeles), focusing on opioid signaling in pain and mental health and disease.

Additionally, the program will include nine symposia covering a broader spectrum of topics and offering the opportunity for contributions by junior researchers. We also look forward to the presentations by the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Young Investigator and 2020 Founder’s Lecture Awardees.

However, we feel responsible for the health of the attendees, speakers, and their families, and thus, to ensure that everyone’s needs are met, this meeting will follow a hybrid format, with two types of registration available: “in person” and “virtual”.

The virtual option gives the opportunity to follow the symposia, plenaries, Young Investigator Awards, and Founder’s lectures via live streaming or on demand. Moreover, virtual attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers during the discussion time.

We also welcome submissions to our special issue in collaboration with Brain Science Journal at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/brainsci/special_issues/opioid_INRC
