EUPHAnxt Newsletter

|
Dear EUPHAnxt subscribers,
Welcome to the August edition of the EUPHAnxt newsletter. As a reminder, we distribute our monthly newsletter on the first Monday of each month. Each newsletter will provide an overview of the upcoming months, including EUPHAnxt events and other opportunities, and the European Public Health Conference (EPH). We are delighted to have chosen the EUPHA fellows for the upcoming EPH in Helsinki, Finland. We will announce our fellows in the September issue of our newsletter.
For those of you who are new, EUPHAnxt is a unique network within EUPHA for students and young professionals, including early-career researchers and policymakers in the field of public health. EUPHAnxt is a free and open initiative that aims to inform and involve future generations in the European and multidisciplinary network of public health associations.
You are encouraged to share related opportunities and events with us, and we would be pleased to disseminate them to our network. EUPHAnxt is open to partnering with student organisations in Europe. If you are a part of an organisation that may be interested in joining forces, please contact us.
NOTE: If you wish to receive the monthly newsletter directly to your inbox and avoid it going directly to spam, please add info.euphanxt@eupha.org to your contacts/address book.
Thanks for tuning in,
The EUPHAnxt team
