This present issue of Alcohol and Alcoholism, the official Journal of the European Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ESBRA), features a special section on the Young Investigator Award symposium held during the 2019 ESBRA meeting in Lille, France. The four papers in this section describe work by promising young European scientists, including two basic scientists, a clinical researcher and a physician scientist. Individually, each of the papers reports important advances in the understanding of alcohol addiction. Jointly, they highlight the interdisciplinary nature of alcohol research, and point to the importance of investing in coming generations of investigators who can pursue this research, in a manner that harnesses the full armamentarium of modern neuroscience, and beyond.

Startrek：下一代酒精研究人员。Markus Heilig的观点，2019年ESBRA ManfredLautenschläger的获得者-欧洲酒精研究奖

本期《酒精与酒精中毒》是欧洲生物酒精中毒生物医学研究协会（ESBRA）的官方杂志，其特色部分是2019年在法国里尔举行的ESBRA会议期间举办的青年研究者奖专题讨论会。本节中的四篇论文描述了有前途的欧洲年轻科学家的工作，其中包括两名基础科学家，临床研究人员和医师科学家。每篇论文都单独报告了对酒精成瘾的理解方面的重要进展。他们共同强调了酒精研究的跨学科性质，并指出了以利用现代神经科学的完整武器库及其他方式投资于能够从事这项研究的后代研究人员的重要性。
