16TH World Congress on Public Health goes virtual from 12-16 October 2020

Since we announced last month that the 16th World Congress on Public Health (WCPH) will be held as an entirely virtual and online congress from 12 – 16 October we have worked hard on revising the programme of plenary and parallel sessions, networking opportunities and exhibition areas.
WCPH 2020 will be an exciting and engaging event with live streams of eight plenary sessions, 30 World Leadership Dialogues and 150 workshops. We will bring all accepted oral papers in pre-recorded sessions to life on our virtual platform with options for attendees to interact through chat boxes. Posters are clustered in congress tracks and viewable at all times.
WCPH 2020 will offer an incredibly full and varied programme from early morning to late in the evening to accommodate attendees living in different time zones across the globe.
Registration
Registration fees for the virtual congress has been significantly reduced as to offer each and everyone the possibility to join the global public health community at WCPH 2020. Reduced fees are available for EUPHA and WFPHA members, attendees from emerging countries and students. Register now to benefit from standard fees until 5 August.

Programme
When the WCPH 2020 actually takes place in October it is more relevant than ever. As the world confronts the coronavirus, the sharing of knowledge becomes ever more important, and the WCPH 2020 is the place to do it. The congress will feature a dedicated Covid-19 track, covering the latest on the fight against the pandemic, the impact on health systems and the future for public health after the crisis.  But we will also focus on other pressing challenges: climate change, food and water supply, poverty and inequalities. The theme of the congress remains unchanged: ‘Public Health for the Future of Humanity: Analysis, Advocacy, and Action’. More news on our website.
