Looking Ahead to EPH 2026

As we warm up for this year’s European Public Health Conference (EPH), we are already starting to think about workshops and collaborative sessions led / co-organised by the Chronic Diseases Section.

If you are interested in:

  • Co-organising a workshop
  • Proposing a collaborative session
  • Working with the Chronic Diseases Section (CHR) on EPH-related activities

Please let us know, we would be very happy to hear from you –
