Join the EU substitution centres workshop

As part of the study, a workshop is being organised to present, discuss, validate and refine the findings that have led the Commission and the study team to identify the most viable option(s) for a possible network of substitution centres. The workshop stakeholders will be invited to comment on the findings, and present additional data that validate or support the refinement of the option(s) with the intention to refine the assessment and provide a solution that takes into account the views of stakeholders.
