Public health policy and politics -> Activities and strategy

The section was established in 2000 in Paris. 

Section strategy

The section offers opportunities for inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation. The Section’s proposed strategy for achieving the aims consists of:

1. Co-organising conference workshops and events with other EUPHA sections, and linking up with European level public health networks
2. Attracting more active participants for the PHPP section, with special attention to policymakers
3. Making more use of the section network capacity and expertise, and facilitate internal networking and exchange among members, especially among academics and policymakers, and to the broader EUPHA audiences using the open LinkedIn PHPP Section’s platform.

Further information on the Section's profile and strategy can be found here.
