This Monothematic Conference on Alcoholic Liver Disease represents EASL’s commitment to the European Alcohol and Health Forum (EAHF), of which EASL became a member in December 2009.
Established in 2007 as a cornerstone of the implementation of the EU Alcohol Strategy, the EAHF provides a common platform for stakeholders, including industry and health NGOs, to demonstrate their commitment to reducing alcohol-related harm in Europe. As a member of the EAHF, EASL put forward the commitment to promote the education and training of healthcare professionals in the field of alcoholic liver disease through the organisation of this Monothematic Conference and the media relations programme around it. EASL's membership of the EAHF is part of a wider programme of advocacy activities in Brussels intended to raise awareness of the impact of alcohol consumption on the prevalence of liver disease and to highlight the need for targeted EU policy action, in particular to improve research opportunities for the liver research community.
More information on alcohol related liver disease and EASL's involvement as an official member of the European Alcohol and Health Forum is available on the EU corner of our website.
