ICRS2022 was run as a hybrid meeting – with options for delegates to attend and present either in-person or virtually. Both synchronous and asynchronous HD were/are available to our Delegates, streamed all over the world.

The event was a smashing success, and we cannot thank our Delegates, sponsors, speakers, and awardees alike for an incredible scientific event – ICRS2022 was one for the record books.

Best wishes and good health. We look forward to seeing you next year in Toronto for ICRS2023.

This year, we were proud to share the beauty of Galway with our ICRS2022 Delegates worldwide – from a spectacular location.

ICRS2022 – A HYBRID SYMPOSIUM

LIVE and ONLINE

from the

BAILEY ALLEN HALL

June 25-30, 2022

At all times, the safety of delegates was our top priority. Attendees were required to adhere to all prevailing Irish Government, NUI Galway, Public Health guidelines and the ICRS Code of Conduct:

https://www.nuigalway.ie/covid-19/

Masking and social distancing were encouraged at ICRS2022.

While our intention was for the majority of short oral and plenary talks to be delivered by delegates attending in-person, a minor proportion of short oral and plenary talks were selected for presentation by delegates attending online/virtually.

For delegates unable to attend in-person in Galway, all oral presentations and plenary talks were streamed online, live/simultaneously/synchronously with Q&A, and posters were viewable online. For both in-person and virtual delegates, all presentations (oral and poster) will now be viewable as recorded material, for a significant period of time after the live symposium concluded on June 30.

TRAINEE GRANTS were available for qualifying pre- and post-Doctoral students/trainees
presenting data at ICRS2022. Applications were due by March 21.

Award applicants must: 1) be a pre- or post-Doctoral student/trainee, 2) be an ICRS Trainee Member-in-Good-Standing, 3) be sponsored by an ICRS Member-in-Good-Standing, and 4) have submitted an abstract for review to ICRS2022.

Born in Lisieux, France in 1925, Dr. Monique C. Braude spent her career at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, where she was instrumental in promoting preclinical research in cannabis and cannabinoids. In addition to her passion for cannabinoid research, Dr. Braude believed strongly in helping women enter scientific careers. She was an ICRS member and strong supporter of Graduate Women in Science.

Every year, ICRS selects outstanding female students, selected for academic excellence, abstracts review scores and presentation scores to receive recognition from the Monique C. and George L. Braude Foundation.

We cannot thank our sponsors enough. Their kind support faciliates Trainee Awards and other aspects of our annual symposium. A major feature of our Annual Symposia has been to facilitate the next generation of cannabinoid scholars by supporting their participation. ICRS is a registered U.S. 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, and so we are able to use the funds provided by our sponsors to ensure that there is a reduced burden for early career researchers to meet and interact with the world leaders in cannabinoid research.
