Dear colleagues,
we are sharing with you some great opportunities and updates for the European public health epidemiology community.
Call for Abstracts: 19th European Public Health Conference – ONLY FEW WEEKS LEFT
Join us in Bilbao, Spain, from 11 to 13 November 2026 for the 19th European Public Health Conference. This year’s theme, “Urban and global synergies: shaping the future of public health with climate resilience, equity and innovation”, will explore how public health can respond to interconnected urban and global challenges. Single abstracts for public health epidemiology topics are welcome. Please submit your abstract by Friday 1 May 2026 at 18:00 CET through the conference website. Don’t miss this opportunity to showcase your work, learn from experts, and connect with colleagues from different disciplines and countries.
As last year, we are also offering the possibility to be included in EUPHA-EPI organized sessions and we are looking specifically for abstracts (research or innovative practices) in the following fields to organize engaging symposia:
-
Vaccine coverage and hesitancy across Europe
-
Inequalities in access to and outcomes of health services
-
Public health challenges of health advice in social media
-
Conflicts of interest and trustworthiness of epidemiological studies
-
Causal inference and advanced methods in public health
We also warmly welcome proposals for other relevant topics in public health epidemiology. Additional topics for organized sessions may be considered, provided that the proposal includes at least two speakers.
EUPHA-EPI organized session abstract submission timeline:
15 April 2026 – Deadline to submit abstracts to the section president (Angelo Maria Pezzullo, email: angelo.pezzullo@unicatt.it). 15 – 20 April 2026 – Review and organization of abstracts into symposium/workshop themes by the EUPHA-EPI leadership team (president and VPs). Feedback provided if necessary. 20 – 25 April 2026 – Finalization of symposium/workshop proposals. Authors not included in symposia are advised to submit in dividually. 1 May 2026 – EPH Conference in dividual abstract submission deadline.
If you submit your abstract to the section, please do not also submit it via the official EPH Conference submission system.

All symposia/workshops and individual abstracts will be evaluated by the EPH International Scientific Committee before final acceptance into the conference programme.
