Dear Section members,

We have prepared an overview of all health literacy-related events to be organized at the 17th European Public Health Conference 2024 Lisbon with the main conference from 13 – 15 November 2024 and the pre-conferences on 12 November 2024. Download the PDF file to get the rapid overview.

We have screened the programme and hope that we have been able to capture all workshops, round tables, pitch presentations, poster walks and displays, and the new pecha kucha format. In case we have missed out any of your presentations, please post us a message and we will update the overview.

Of course, you will also find a detailed overview to all our Section events, including our Join the Network (JtN) session and our two pre-conferences:

• The 1st pre-conference represents a follow up to our very fun pre-conference in Dublin last year on the linkages between health literacy and the European Health Data Space co-organized with EUPHA-PHMR and
• The 2nd pre-conference will be co-organized with EUPHA-CAPH and represents our first ever pre-conference on school health literacy, an emerging field within global health literacy research.

This year’s EPHC will be very rich regarding health literacy research and researchers from all around the world will display their unique and intriguing work, addressing all facets of health literacy. Besides the two pre-conferences and the JtN, our Section will be involved in organizing:

• 5 Scientific Session Workshops
• 3 Round Table Workshops
• 1 Pecha Kucha Workshop

with a total of 37 presentations reflecting the work of the lively global health literacy community. In these events we are partnering with more than ten EUPHA Sections and more than 30 international partner organizations. In addition, there will be lots of events organized by EUPHA, EUPHA Sections, and other public health friends and colleagues. These are going to occupy:

• 3 Scientific Session Workshops (including 1 Pitch and 1 Oral Session) with 15 presentations
• 2 Pecha Kucha Workshops with 6 presentations
• 3 Poster Walks with 18 posters
• 1 Poster Display with 58 (!) posters.

This is just wow! We will see 134 presentations on health literacy plus all the presentations at the two pre-conferences. This is so crazy and you are all amazing as you are the ones responsible for this astonishing result, putting health literacy far up on the European public health agenda. Thank you all so much and let’s make sure that the 17th EPHC will be a magnificient event.

You can access the conference website to learn more about EPHC and also make sure to check out the conference programme.

For those of you that cannot wait until November, please make sure to join us next week at the IHLA international conference on health literacy: 2nd Global Health Literacy Summit in Rotterdam, Netherlands, from 18 to 20 September at de Doelen International Congress Center. We hope to see many of you there.

Best regards,
