IAS

The Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) is an independent organization dedicated to bringing together evidence, policy, and practice to address the impact of alcohol on society. Their mission is to use the best available evidence to inform public policy decisions related to alcohol. IAS is guided by a Board of Trustees and a Chief Executive, supported by a team of experienced professionals in research, policy, and public affairs.

Their work is also guided by a panel of external Expert Advisors. Unlike many similar organizations, IAS operates independently of any influence from the alcohol industry. They do not accept funding or enter partnerships with alcohol industry bodies, ensuring their impartiality.

IAS is committed to ethical practices, collaboration, evidence-based approaches, and innovation. They strive to maintain the highest standards and make a meaningful impact in reducing alcohol harm. As a registered charity, the IAS is dedicated to promoting an informed debate on alcohol by providing reliable information and seeking out emerging trends to shape policy decisions in the public interest
