European Public Health Week (EUPHW) is an annual initiative led by EUPHA to shine a spotlight on public health. Each year, hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals across Europe come together to host activities, share knowledge, and raise awareness of important public health challenges and solutions.

EUPHW is open to everyone: from national health institutes and universities, to local communities, schools, and civil society groups. The week offers a unique opportunity to exchange experiences, inspire action, and highlight the value of public health to our societies.

Public health is a collective effort. By dedicating one week each year to shared activities across the continent, EUPHW helps to:

• Raise awareness of pressing health issues.
• Showcase good practice and innovation.
• Foster collaboration across countries, sectors, and disciplines.
• Strengthen the visibility and voice of public health in Europe.

Since its launch, EUPHW has grown into a truly European movement — engaging participants across many countries through events, initiatives, and online campaigns.

EUPHW is open to everyone — from institutions and professionals to students and citizens. You can:

• Host an event: organize an activity in your community, online, or with colleagues. Big or small, local or global — every contribution counts.
• Partner with us: collaborate to amplify the week’s themes and reach.
• Spread the word: share messages on social media and join the conversation using #EUPHW and #EUPHW2026.
• Join an event: take part in activities across Europe and connect with others on the week’s daily themes.

Each action, no matter the scale, helps make public health visible and valued across Europe.
