ALICE RAP (Addiction and Lifestyles in Contemporary Europe - Reframing Addictions Project) was a five year European research project (2011-2016), co-financed by the European Commission that brought together around 200 scientists from more than 25 countries and 29 different disciplines. It aimed to strengthen scientific evidence to inform the public and political dialogue and to stimulate a broad and productive debate on current and alternative approaches to addictions.

ERANID is an EU-funded project under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-SSH).

It focuses on strengthening cross-border research (mainly in the EU) in various aspects of the illicit drugs problem, i.e. drug demand and drug supply issues, and in interventions and policies to tackle the problems. ERANID will make knowledge on these issues better available for the stakeholders. To this end, it cooperates with organisations as the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), and the Pompidou-group. ERANID will promote multidisciplinary research activities in the field of social sciences and humanities, and, if necessary beyond. Our aim is to improve understanding on the cause and nature of drug problems and how these develop in society, analyse trends and developments (e.g. patterns of consumption, drug markets).
