Fremantle/Walyalup, Western Australia
Key information
The National Drug Research Institute (NDRI) is hosting the 49th annual Kettil Bruun Society (KBS) Alcohol Epidemiology Symposium in Fremantle in late May 2024.
The aims of KBS are to promote social and epidemiological research, which fosters a comparative understanding of the social aspects of alcohol use and alcohol problems, and to promote a spirit of international cooperation.
NDRI conducts and disseminates research that supports evidence informed policy and practice to minimise alcohol and other drug-related harm. Based at Curtin University, NDRI’s Alcohol Policies and Strategies Research Program is renowned internationally.
As with each annual KBS symposium, the aim in 2024 is to maximise discussion about social and epidemiological research on alcohol.

The host city
Fremantle, or Walyalup in the local Indigenous language, is the host city for the 2024 KBS symposium.
Located 30 minutes south of Perth, Western Australia’s capital, Fremantle was chosen as both a popular destination for international and interstate visitors and an ideal venue for a 5-day conference, providing user-friendly and historic venues with myriad accommodation and dining options.
‘Freo’ is also a convenient launching pad for pre- or post-conference touring as well as the social events that feature in the KBS program, which in 2024 will likely include indigenous culture and history tours, wildlife experiences or a visit to Rottnest Island in addition to the conference dinner and welcome.
