Dear members and friends of the Ethics in public health section,

While the Dublin Conference is still fresh on my mind – the exhilarating workshops, the lively Join the Network-meeting, the wonderful collaboration, the casual meetings on the escalators in the Conference Hall… – it is now time to look ahead and prepare for the next EPH conference in Lisbon. Abstract submission is already open. In Dublin, we were already discussing some topics for Lisbon 2024 (see the minutes of the 2023 JTN work meeting) and more have come up since then. Please take a look at the workshop ideas in the EPH conference topic further down.

Collaboration is key in submitting workshop proposals. So please let us know if you have any interest or ideas you would like to pursue.

I hope you also enjoyed the webinar “Right to health, public health and climate change” on 20 February which I mailed you earlier this year. I will keep you posted on the next webinars.

Warm regards,
Els Maeckelberghe
