Stand with us to protect science, equity, and public health in Europe.
Public health is under attack — but together we can turn crisis into opportunity. Europe needs an independent voice, and EUPHA is ready to lead. Our 2025–2030 strategy earned an exceptional 97% score in the EU4Health grant process — proof of our strength and vision. But just as we were ready to deliver, the European Commission cancelled all NGO operating grants. No warning. No transition.
This decision hit the very oxygen that keeps us alive: our ability to maintain a skilled team, respond rapidly to policy debates, represent science where decisions are made, and connect Europe’s public health community.
We could have stepped back. Instead, we are stepping forward, together with U.
Because EUPHA is a community, a movement, a voice for those who believe that science matters, equity matters, public health matters.
Join us and make your contribution today.
Why EUPHA matters
We unite 72 National Public Health Associations and Institutions and 29 Sections across 35 countries in Europe. Your contribution goes directly to what keeps public health alive in Europe:
- A voice in Europe: Regular presence in EU policy debates, including organising European Public Health Week, high-level briefings, and position papers, ensuring science is heard.
- EUPHAnxt: supporting youth and early-career professionals all through the year with monitoring, fellowship and capacity-building
- Sections & EUPHAcademy: fostering innovation, continuous education and collaboration with researchers from all over Europe on different themes, aligning with the Public Health Essential Functions
- EUPHA team: continuity for the skilled professionals who ensure EUPHA can act, respond, and represent science when it matters most.
With this campaign, we empower Europe’s independent, science-based public health voice.
Join as a U*Member
The U*Membership does not replace national public health association or institutional membership. Those remain the backbone of EUPHA, and National Public Health Association have the voting rights.
It is an individual membership open to anyone who wants to stand up for public health. You can absolutely combine both:
- Be part of your national association or institution, with all the attached benefits
- AND engage personally as a U*Member, showing your solidarity and voice as an individual
- And, if your institution is not a EUPHA Member, be an EUPHAmbassador and bring them in!

Whether you’re a student, a policymaker, a scientist, or simply someone who believes in healthier, fairer societies, you can now become a U*Member to stand up for science and stand up for public health.
