Returning from Lisbon after the inspiring European Public Health EPH Conference that gathered more than 3000 participants, we are filled with gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead. It was a scientific conference; it was also a celebration of our collective dedication to advancing public health across Europe and beyond. The energy, collaboration, and innovative spirit we witnessed have set the stage for an ambitious and transformative journey toward 2025.
This journey is also about creativity and storytelling. Inspired by the success of the song “Where Health Can Thrive” performed in Lisbon, our new anthem, we aim to continue embracing culture as a powerful tool to promote public health. Capturing the stories, struggles, and victories of public health will help make our mission more relatable and engaging for broader audiences.
Embracing our new strategic pillars: evidence, equity, engagement, and empowerment
As we step into the future, EUPHA’s Governing Board has approved a new strategy guided by four pillars: “Evidence, Equity, Engagement, and Empowerment.” These pillars are the foundation of our mission to bridge science and policy, empower communities, and foster a resilient public health workforce.
Evidence: Advance science-based policy and practice by fostering high-quality, actionable research. We aim to empower researchers and public health professionals, supporting them in translating and applying evidence to shape impactful policies, strategies, and communications. Empowerment: Build capacity and continuous education by equipping public health professionals, National Public Health Associations (NPHAs), and communities with the knowledge, tools, education, and autonomy to drive meaningful change. Partnerships will amplify NPHAs’ voices, ensuring their influence on European and global public health strategies. Equity: Champion inclusiveness and reduce inequalities by addressing the specific health needs of Europe’s diverse communities. We are committed to promoting culturally sensitive care that leaves no one behind and encouraging active participation to foster equity in all dimensions of health. Engagement: Foster co-creation and cross-sectoral partnerships by including community voices at every step of public health progress. By building bridges across sectors and countries, we tackle complex health challenges—such as pandemics, climate change, and digital health—with a focus on shared decision-making and resilience.
A bold vision for the future
As we look to 2025, our vision is clear: to create a public health ecosystem in Europe that is “evidence-based, innovative, inclusive, and resilient.” Public health is increasingly at risk—from the rise of populism and disinformation to the devastating effects of war, conflict, and the erosion of trust in science. These challenges threaten the very foundations of equitable and evidence-based health systems. Now, more than ever, we must act boldly and collaboratively to protect and advance public health for all.
Together, with the support of our dedicated members, partners, and the broader public health community, we will turn our bold ideas into reality.
As Paulo Freire wisely said, “As long as I fight, I am moved by hope; and if I fight with hope, then I can wait.” With hope and determination, “EUPHA is here for U”—not just to discuss solutions, but to make them happen.
