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.

David Finn, Ph.D.

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

ICRS2022 – A HYBRID SYMPOSIUM

LIVE and ONLINE

from the

BAILEY ALLEN HALL

National University of Ireland Galway

June 25-30, 2022

Currently, travellers to Ireland are not required to show proof of vaccination, proof of recovery or a negative PCR test result upon arrival.

There are no post-arrival testing or quarantine requirements for travellers to Ireland.

Any individual who develops COVID-19 symptoms while in Ireland should follow the HSE guidance in relation to isolation and undertaking antigen or PCR testing as appropriate.

While all travel requirements to enter Ireland have been removed, other EU and non-EU countries may still require travellers to hold either:

*Proof of vaccination

*Proof of recovery, or

*A negative test result.

At all times, the safety of delegates will be our top priority. Attendees will be 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/

At the moment, rules in Ireland and NUI Galway do not require the wearing of a face covering at conferences, however delegates are of course very welcome to wear one if they wish. Social distancing no longer applies in Ireland or at NUI Galway and is unlikely to apply at ICRS2022. Any changes to these conditions will be updated here if changing circumstances require it.

Anyone requiring a COVID test with a letter to facilitate international travel after attending ICRS2022 should make a test booking with this company:

Stauntons Allcare Pharmacy

148 Lower Salthill
Salthill
H91 D9NF, Galway
☎ 091 520000
✉ stauntons@allcarepharmacy.ie

Stauntons provides COVID tests for €35-40/person. Pre-booking is advised. Stauntons Allcare Pharmacy is not associated with ICRS, NUI, nor the ICRS2022 Symposium.

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 are available for qualifying pre- and post-Doctoral students/trainees presenting data at ICRS2022.

To apply, you will need to complete abstract submission by the appropriate deadline, a grant application by March 21, and Symposium registration.

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.

TRAINEE GRANT APPLICATION WINDOW HAS CLOSED.

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.
