EWODOR (the European Working Group on Drugs Oriented Research) was founded in 1983 to provide a forum within which researchers in the field of drug/alcohol treatment, prevention and policy could share research experience and expertise; compare procedures, methods and results; and subject their work to peer examination.

In order to achieve this objective, EWODOR provides:

• symposia for the presentation of current/recent research in the drug/alcohol field a series of research seminars (Bridging the Gaps)
• an on-line discussion site for the exchange of information and the archiving of recent/current research findings in the drug/alcohol field
  

• a means by which researchers in the drug/alcohol field can communicate with European and international bodies representing other relevant disciplines
  
• a forum where researchers and other practitioners in the drug/alcohol field can strengthen the multidisciplinary nature of their work and ensure its relevance
  
• an opportunity for researchers in the drug/alcohol field to propose new lines of action and investigation
