Invited Speakers
João Castel-Branco Goulão has served as the Portuguese National Drugs Coordinator since 2005, is the General Director of the Service for Intervention on Addictive Behaviors and Dependencies (Ministry of Health). A medical doctor by profession, João Goulão has over 30 years’ experience regarding drug-related issues, working in this field since 1987 as general practitioner. He was a member of the Portuguese Committee that, in 1999, prepared the report on which the first Portuguese Drug Strategy, which included decriminalization, was based. He has served as the Portuguese representative in the Management Board of the European Monitoring Centre on Drugs and Drug Addiction since 2005, serving as Chairman from 2010 to 2015. He had previously served on the European agency’s Scientific Committee (1997–2002). He chaired the Horizontal Working Party on Drugs of the EU in the first semester of 2021 and is, since 2019, the Chair of the Permanent Correspondents of the Pompidou Group.
Mr Alexis Goosdeel, Director of the EMCDDA. Mr Goosdeel has spent much of his 30-year career working in the field of public health at national, European and international level. He was one of the founders of Modus Vivendi, a Belgian NGO working in the area of harm reduction. Before joining the EMCDDA, he directed Alizés, a Brussels-based, European association working for development and cooperation in public health (1992–99). Mr Goosdeel joined the EMCDDA in 1999 as a project manager working in the area of EU enlargement and international relations. From 2005, he headed the agency’s Reitox and international cooperation unit. In this capacity, he played a central role in: coordinating a network of 30 national drug monitoring centres; preparing EU candidate and potential candidate countries for membership of the EMCDDA; developing cooperation with neighbouring countries to the EU; and nurturing relations with countries beyond the Union (Central Asia, Russia, Latin America). The EMCDDA Management Board elected him as Director in January 2016 for an initial five year term, which the board unanimously voted to extend for another five years. Mr Goosdeel holds a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and a special diploma in advanced management. He is proficient in six languages: French (mother tongue); English, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and Dutch.
