Dear colleagues,

According to the EUPHA Section Rules a new president needs to be elected and appointed in 2022.

We are looking for persons, who are EUPHA members, have working experiences in the field of public health, social security and work and ideally work in a public health institute. 

The appointment is for three years and can be re-nominated once.

The EUPHA-SSWH  presidency is a great opportunity to collaborate with various European health information experts

A description of the tasks of the section president can be found here.

Any costs for travel and requested attendance to meetings/conferences is reimbursed by EUPHA.

Are you interested to become the next EUPHA-SSWH president?

Please send a meaningful motivation letter and your CV until Friday 30 September 2022 to office@EUPHA.org (subject EUPHA-SSWH presidency).

What happens next?

• applicants are checked by the EUPHA office for EUPHA membership and conflict of interest and you will be asked to sign a conflict of interest form upon election;
• nominations are sent to the Section President and the Steering Committee for discussion;
• applications of final nominees are forwarded to section members for voting;
• the votes of the section members are collected centrally at the EUPHA office;
• the applicant with the highest number of votes is elected as Section President.

The vice-president is nominated by the new section president along with the EUPHA-SSWH Steering Group.

Best regards,

Gunnel Hensing
Section president
