EUPHAnxt Newsletter

Dear EUPHAnxt subscribers,

Welcome to the June 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, like a recap from the European Public Health Week and the upcoming European Public Health Conference (EPH).

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.
