Dear colleagues,

Big news! For the very first time, EUPHA-SGMH is organizing a free satellite event in collaboration with local LGBTQI+ community organizations. This will be a unique opportunity for the scientific community to interact with local community organizations, and vice versa. Please find the details and a link to register below. We would also like to share the overview of the LGBTQI+ heath-related content at EPH2024 (updated!) again, including our very own Join-the-Network meeting. We hope to see you in Lisbon next month!

1. EUPHA-SGMH Satellite Community Event in Lisbon

First-ever EPH Satellite Event: “Queering health together - nothing for us without us” starring Dr. Seema Yasmin and You

Monday, 11 November 2024, 18.00-20.00h, Casa do Comum do Bairro Alto 

Please register here (free of charge, limited capacity) 

For the first time in its history, the annual European Public Health Conference (EPH), organized by the European Public Health Association (EUPHA), is reaching out to local communities to listen, to empower, and to set a precedent. Join us for a panel discussion, Q&A, and a book signing in the historic centre of Lisbon, and help us shape the European queer (public) health of the future, together with a range of panelists from queer communities, including GAT Portugal. Your presence and voice count. Because queer health = public health = your health.

The event will be moderated by the renowned Dr. Seema Yasmin, an Emmy-award winning journalist, author, medical doctor and professor. She trained in medicine at the University of Cambridge and in journalism at the University of Toronto. One of her many inspiring books, “The ABCs of Queer History”, will be available to buy on site, and you can even get your copy signed!
