EASG conference in Copenhagen

EASG 2026, the European conference on gambling studies and policy issues, was held in Copenhagen from 8 to 11 September with participants from more than 40 countries.
The Danish Problem Gambling Committee hosted a session on Thursday 10 September. Three speakers from the Research Clinic for Gambling Disorder at Aarhus University Hospital spoke about the founding of the committee, about experiences from the prevention initiative Spil for Livet (Gambling for Life), and about new Danish research on gambling among children and young people. In addition, researcher Johanne Kirkeby from the University of Copenhagen presented her research on gambling among young people.
The session was an opportunity to present Danish prevention and research work to an international audience of professionals, and to build contacts with research communities across Europe.
