SUMMARY:ISAM Annual Congress - Hamburg\, Germany - May 25\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Global Innovation Day for Addiction Therapeutics \nAddiction is a major public health issue affecting millions worldwide. Innovative solutions are urgently needed to combat this crisis\, reduce its impact\, and save lives. The World Innovation Day for Addiction Therapeutics serves as a platform for fostering collaboration between academia\, health sector\, regulatory agencies\, and industry\, driving innovation\, and accelerating the development of effective tools and technologies for assessment and treatments for addiction and its comorbidities. By bringing together experts from various fields\, this event aims to catalyze the development of new modalities for assessment\, therapies\, and interventions. There are several reasons why convening such an event matters: \nBridging the Gap: There is often a disconnection between scientific discoveries and their implementation in real-world settings. This event aims to bridge that gap by facilitating dialogue and collaboration between clinicians from the addiction medicine/psychiatry academia\, industry professionals\, and researchers from both\, facilitating the translation of groundbreaking research into tangible benefits for patients. \nEnhancing Investment: Securing funding is a significant hurdle in the journey from research to market. The presence of senior venture capital and other types of investors and funding agencies at this event provides a unique opportunity for startups and established companies to showcase their innovations\, attract investment\, and accelerate their growth. \nKnowledge Sharing: The event will feature multiple panels and lectures\, offering participants a chance to share their experiences\, learn from each other\, and stay updated on the latest trends and advancements in the field of addiction medicine therapeutics. This exchange of knowledge is crucial for driving progress and fostering a collaborative environment. \nBuilding a Stronger Community: By gathering many leaders from clinics\, universities\, industry\, regulatory agencies and investment communities\, this event creates a robust network of professionals committed to improving addiction treatment. These connections can lead to long-term collaborations\, innovative projects\, and a stronger\, more unified approach to addressing addiction. \nThe First World Innovation Day for Addiction Therapeutics will be on May 25th\, in Hamburg\, Germany as a full day pre-conference event for the ISAM 2025 Annual Congress \nhttps://www.isam-hamburg.com/ \n\n\nWho is Invited?  We would like to invite all companies\, startups\, and entrepreneurs active in developing products for addiction prevention\, assessment\, treatment\, and rehabilitation to join us for “World Innovations for Addiction Therapeutics – From Scientific Discovery to Saving Lives.” This is an ISAM event designed for academia/industry partnership\, focusing on innovation and investment in newest technologies for helping patients affected by addictions and their comorbidities. This event will take place on Sunday\, May 25\, 2025\, in Hamburg\, Germany\, as part of the official pre-conference activities of the ISAM 27th Global Congress. Bringing together more than many leaders from clinics\, universities\, industry\, and investment communities\, this unique gathering aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences and visions for this evolving field. \nAt ISAM’s Innovations Day\, both innovators and established companies will have the opportunity to share their ideas\, product and company narratives with clinicians\, scientists\, venture capitalists\, engineers\, regulatory agencies\, and industry professionals. Aligned with the theme of the day\, participating companies are invited to spotlight the challenges and advantages of innovation specific to their products from discovery to implementation in communities. The agenda for the day will include multiple panels and talks\, ensuring that all the registered\, invited and willing participants have the opportunity for podium time\, either individually or as part of panel discussions. \nIn addition to the presenting companies\, senior venture capital investors from major corporations will be invited. This offers an excellent platform for you and your company to showcase your vision\, ideas\, achievements\, forge new connections\, learn from peers\, assess progress\, and become more competitive and successful in the future market of addiction therapeutics. \nThe Application Process:  We encourage all companies\, startups\, and entrepreneurs active in developing products for addiction prevention\, assessment\, treatment\, and rehabilitation to consider participating in this event.

SUMMARY:Register Today: Civic Engagement Alliance Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Register Today: Civic Engagement Alliance Discussion \nCurious about the roles that early career researchers are playing in shaping civic science? Join us on Thursday\, May 29\, at noon ET for an Alliance Discussion featuring awardees from Research!America’s Civic Engagement Microgrant Program and Public Engagement Training Content Microgrant Program.  \nRegister on Zoom  \nNow in its 7th year\, our Civic Science Microgrant initiative has supported nearly 150 creative\, student-led projects across the country. These efforts empower STEM graduate students\, professional students\, and postdocs to tackle challenges at the intersection of science and society and connect directly with local officials\, community leaders\, and non-scientists to drive meaningful engagement with the public. We are also exploring new approaches to developing the skills scientists need to undertake this work.  \nThree awardees will share their experiences as part of the two programs. \nAshley Lauterbach\, Belmont University \n“Pharmacy Advocacy Initiative: Preparing Voices of Change” - a project that highlights the role of pharmacists beyond the counter as change agents for healthcare advocacy.  \nJustine Silva\, University of California\, Irvine \nA digital training initiative that equips medical professionals to engage thoughtfully with brain donor families. \nDr. Myesha Shelby\, Howard University \n“Interfaith Dialogues: Building Science Perspectives” - facilitated conversations between scientists and faith-based communities on the importance of scientific research.  \nDr. Fanuel Muindi\, Professor of the Practice\, Civic Science Journalism\, Northeastern University; Founder & Director\, Civic Science Media Lab\, will join as a discussant. \nBring your questions and join us for an exciting discussion with scientists who are working to build important connections outside of their university walls.  \nWe thank our funders: HHMI\, the Lasker Foundation\, the Dana Foundation\, and Dennis Mangan. \nI hope you will join us! \nJenny \nJennifer Luray\nSenior Vice President\, Strategy and Public Engagement\nResearch!America\nFollow us on social media \nReceive Mary Woolley’s Weekly Letter \n
