Fully booked!

As part of the nightlife conference in Vienna, we invite you to visit one of Europe’s pioneering drug checking organizations. Besides others, our facility in Vienna offers stationary drug checking to individuals who use psychoactive substances. During the visit of the checkit!-homebase, you will learn how a drug checking organization operates and gain insights into its essential role in harm reduction. Trained staff will demonstrate the sample submission procedure, explaining the opportunities and challenges that arise in interactions with service users—whether during the initial contact or when delivering analysis results. This session offers a deeper understanding of evidence-based prevention and the impact of these services on modern public health strategies.

The excursion is already fully booked!

Note that the laboratory is located elsewhere and thus not part of this field visit.
