Dear Section members,

An exciting year for European Public Health is about to end. It has seen the launch of the EUPHA Health Literacy Section, our participation in the European Public Health Week, and most importantly, an amazing European Public Health Conference in Dublin with plenty of workshops, a great joint pre-conference together with the EUPHA Public Health Reporting and Monitoring Section, and our essential Join the Network meeting. Our annual and JtN reports chronicling these events will be released early on in January on the Section website.

If you have missed the conference or want to re-visit it, please make sure to get the EJPH supplement for 16th European Public Health Conference 2023: Our Food, Our Health, Our Earth: A Sustainable Future for Humanity Dublin, Ireland 8–11 November 2023.
