Helen Fitzgerald & Dr Eoin O鈥橫eara Daly, members of the REPPP Team, presented on the topic of 'Addressing the Recruitment of Young People into Criminal Drugs Networks' at a closed conference at the European Union Drug Agency (EUDA) in Lisbon on the 5th November. The event was hosted by the EUDA Reference Group on Drug Markets and Crime and brought together leading experts to share insights and to strengthen Europe鈥檚 preparedness against evolving drug market threats. Over two days, participants explored key dimensions of the drug market, from violence and global dynamics to environmental impacts and youth recruitment. This collaboration helps identify emerging trends and guide evidence-based responses to improve security across Europe.
