18th European Public Health Conference 2025

After the successful conference in Lisbon, we will meet again in person for the 18th European Public Health Conference in Helsinki, Finland, from 11 – 14 November. Helsinki will host the 18th EPH Conference in 2025, inviting you to reconnect with colleagues from around the globe to discuss key public health issues, explore the city, and have fun.

Known for its efficiency and safety, Helsinki is ranked the 11th best city for congresses worldwide. Additionally, Finland has been named the world’s happiest country for the seventh consecutive year in the World Happiness Report. This ranking is attributed to strong social support networks, social trust, honest governance, safe environments, and healthy lives. These topics will also be featured in the conference programme.

Main theme: Investing for sustainable health and well-being

The 18th EPH Conference highlights that improving population health and well-being is an investment, not an expense. This investment benefits society and fosters a sustainable economy. Health and well-being are intricately linked with sustainable development: investing in health supports social, economic, and environmental sustainability, while a healthy planet with inclusive growth and fair societies enhances individual and community well-being. Addressing the determinants of health and reducing inequities are crucial for achieving population health and are essential for sustainable development.
