Newsletter No 01 - February 2021Update on the 2021 European Public Health ConferenceAfter the decision to go fully virtual, the EUPHA Executive Council and EPH Conference Executive Board decided to change the main theme to: The futures of public health: policy, practice, people. The programme is also being reorganised. Following last year's example, the decision was made to make all sessions 60 minutes, as this allows better coordination within the programme. This means that workshops can only be submitted for 60 minutes. The topics for abstract and workshop submission are the following:
