New Website redesign
We've just had a major site redesign, including a complete makeover in appearance but also to bring the site up to W3Cs AAA conformance standard. There are also several new functions including the RSS feed which will notify you of any changes to the site like fresh news stories or added insights, and also the new Alcohol Library Search Engine - see below.
If you'd like to comment about any aspect of the new design please let us know what you think.
New AERC Alcohol Library Search Engine
To make it easier for users to find a wide variety of data about alcohol related issues on the most relevant sites, we've created the AERC Alcohol Library Search Engine.
New 2008 Funding for Research & Development Project grants
This year the Council has decided not to identify priorities as we have done in the last five years. Instead we would like Researchers & Developers to choose their own priority area and submit proposals that are likely to make a difference and are well evaluated.
The deadline for submissions is September 5th.
More information on the bidding process can be found here.
