Dear EUPHA-ECO section member,

We are delighted to inform you about the upcoming conference of the Public Health Economics section of the European Public Health Association (EUPHA-ECO), as part of the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) and co-organised with the Società Italiana d’Igiene, Medicina Preventiva e Sanità Pubblica (SiTi), the Italian Health Economics Association (AIES) and the BEST-COST project.

Join us at the 1st European Public Health Economics taking place in Palermo (Italy) on June 26^th and 27^th 2025. The abstract submission is already open via this link, and we are welcoming submissions for: working papers; oral presentations, ePosters, organised sessions (both project showcases and skill building seminars).

The conference will be dedicated to exploring the dynamics between our daily work and the international perspectives in the field of Public Health Economics. Central to our discussions will be a critical analysis of established and emerging methods and their application in your work. We also want  to understand how health economics concepts and methods can be applied to  pressing global challenges, such as health equity and climate change.

The EUPHA-ECO section wants to provide participants with a collaborative platform to exchange insights, explore methods and challenges, and strengthen partnerships.

More information about abstract submission and the registration process can be found in the attached flyer and below.
