The European Public Health Association (EUPHA) is an organization of public health associations and institutes in Europe. It was founded in 1992.[1]
Its central office is based at the NIVEL (Nederlands instituut voor onderzoek van de gezondheidszorg) in Utrecht, Netherlands.[2] EUPHA also has a satellite office in Brussels, Belgium.
EUPHA is co-funded by the Health Programme of the European Union, and is registered with the EU Transparency Register under No. 37673629826-90.[3]
Members
EUPHA has two sorts of membership: full membership, which is open for national public health associations in Europe (WHO/EURO definition of Europe) and the associate membership, open for individuals, international NGOs and public health institutions. (As of 2023), EUPHA has 85 members from 47 countries, bringing together over 39,000 public health experts.[3]
Pillars
In order to better support the activities of EUPHA and to include all aspects of public health, EUPHA has created four pillars to link EUPHA sections and EUPHA members. These pillars reflect the four working areas of public health: research, policy, practice, and training and education.[citation needed]
European Public Health Conference
EUPHA has been organising annual scientific conferences since 1992. The first conference was held in Paris in December 1992. Since 2008, the annual conference name was changed to "European Public Health Conference", as the conferences are a joint effort with national public health associations and international partners. The EPH Conference usually takes place in different European cities every year.[citation needed]
In 2020, together with the World Federation of Public Health Associations[4] (WFPHA) and the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SItI), EUPHA organised the first online edition of 16th World Congress on Public Health,[5][6][7][8][9] focused on 'Public health for the future of humanity: analysis, advocacy and action'.
In 2021, the virtual edition of the 14th EPH Conference will explore "public health futures in a changing world".[10]
Journal
EUPHA publishes a bi-monthly scientific journal, the European Journal of Public Health, together with Oxford University Press.[11] In 2021, the Impact Factor is of 2.391 and the 5 year Impact Factor of 3.134.[citation needed]
The editor-in-chief is Peter Allebeck, from the Karolinska Institute and Stockholm County Council, Sweden.[citation needed]
