What happened during the 2025 European Public Health Week?
The European Public Health Week (EUPHW) 2025 focused on the overarching topic - Innovation for Resilience: Shaping a Sustainable Future.
In 2025 EUPHW provided a platform to explore innovative approaches to bolster resilience in public health systems and promote sustainability in the face of evolving global challenges. Experts, policymakers, students, and public health professionals from across Europe and beyond were invited to converge in engaging discussions, share insights, and collaborate on actionable solutions.
Building on the 17th European Public Health Conference 2024 in Lisbon, and in line with the EPH 2024 statement, the EUPHW 2025 continude to explore and expand upon the theme of "Innovation for Resilience," engaging members and citizens in European countries.
The European Public Health Week launched on Monday 12 May, with an in-person and virtual event in Brussels.
One of the standout events of the week was a hands-on Hackathon to pilot a Public Health Innovation Lab. Taking place in Brussels during European Public Health Week, this event brought together participants from academia, healthcare, technology, and beyond to test the concept and potential impact of such a Lab. Envisioned as a dynamic space to accelerate real-world solutions through science, policy, and community-driven innovation, the Lab aims to foster bold ideas and cross-sector collaboration to address today’s most pressing public health challenges.
Together, the events of EUPHW 2025 examined how public health systems can adapt and thrive in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. By fostering dialogue, collaboration, and innovative thinking, the week aimd to inspire tangible progress in creating resilient, sustainable, and equitable public health systems.
