15TH EUROPEAN PUBLIC HEALTH CONFERENCE

15^TH EUROPEAN PUBLIC HEALTH CONFERENCE

9 – 12 NOVEMBER 2022

STRENGTHENING HEALTH SYSTEMS: IMPROVING POPULATION HEALTH AND BEING PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED

WELCOME TO BERLIN 2022

The 15th EPH Conference in Berlin will be the first EPH Conference since Marseille 2019 to take place live and in person from 9 – 12 November. With the steady return to 'normal' life across Europe, we are increasingly confident that we can actually host an in person conference in Berlin in November. While the Omicron variant has led to a surge in infections across the continent, hospitalizations have not surged in line with cases, suggesting the worst of the virus might be over. As a result, many countries in Europe are ending their COVID-19 restrictions and Germany is likely to follow later this month. We will keep our fingers crossed this spring, summer and especially autumn that the situation improves further and we can return to a normal conference. We will, of course, continue to monitor developments in Berlin closely and will adjust our planning if necessary. Current measures in Berlin can be followed in detail on the websites of VisitBerlin and the State of Berlin.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS OPEN

ABSTRACT MENTORING PROGRAMME

EPH Conference and EUPHAnxt are offering an Abstract Mentoring Programme providing an opportunity for young and/or less experienced abstract submitters to receive feedback from experienced reviewers. The programme is targeted at researchers who have limited access to colleagues to ask for guidance and comments on their proposed abstracts. More information on our website.

REGISTRATION

Registration opens 1 April 2022. Registration fees will be announced on our website.

THEME AND PROGRAMME

The theme of the in person 15th EPH Conference 2022 will be ‘Strengthening health systems: improving population health and being prepared for the unexpected’. In the past years, we have learned from the Covid-19 pandemic that infectious diseases know no boundaries. Although we have seen the successful development of vaccines, we have also seen with the spread of the Delta and Omicron variants around the globe that these vaccines have not yet been available to everyone. At the conference, we want to explore ways how the public health community can bring about better population health. How can Europe take a more active role in global health?  Europe must use its knowledge and influence to balance out market forces, expand regulatory oversight and create socially responsible systems for health, especially when it comes to the distribution of vaccines and essential medicines.
