Dear Section members,

October is Health Literacy Month, and we have lots of news to share.

European Public Health Conference 2024 Lisbon

We have updated our overview of all health literacy-related events to be organized at the 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 updated overview.

As a reminder, we will also have our two pre-conferences and our Join the Network (JtN) meeting:

  • 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
  • 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.
  • Our JtN meeting will be Thurs 14th November 14:00-15:00. Please come along to meet members old and new, and let’s have our biggest group photo yet!

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

Recap: IHLA Global Health Literacy Summit, Rotterdam

We were delighted to see so many of you at the IHLA Summit in Rotterdam last month. If you couldn’t make it, there are lots of posts shared online that can give you a flavour of the discussions – search the hashtag IHLASUMMIT2024 on Linkedin.

Welcome two new members to our Steering Committee

Following our call for Early Career Researchers to join our Steering Committee earlier this year, we are pleased to announce that Dr Mark Bakker and Samantha Belfrage applied and were successful. Congratulations both! We are looking forward to working with them.
