The 17th European Public Health Conference (EPH) will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from November 13th to 15th, 2024, with a pre-event on November 12th. This year’s theme, "Sailing the waves of European public health: exploring a sea of innovation," will bring together public health professionals from across Europe to discuss new approaches, push boundaries, and chart the future of public health in Europe.
The JA PreventNCD project will actively contribute to the conference, presenting collaborative strategies to strengthen prevention systems for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Our sessions will focus on innovative solutions, policy recommendations, and evidence-based approaches aimed at reducing the burden of NCDs across Europe.
