Why should I attend?
Anyone interested in
population health sciences is very welcome! Join us to share information
and network in a friendly and informal atmosphere.
Our three priorities are quality research, networking, and career development (especially for early career researchers and mid-career researchers).
Our
conference welcomes a range of research approaches (quantitative,
qualitative, and mixed methods) to address important issues in
population health in its widest sense, spanning wellbeing, illness, and
disease.
Who attends?
In September 2026, we had over 500 people join us in London for our joint conference with the International Epidemiological Association - our 70th annual conference and the European Congress of Epidemiology. Some 60 early career
researchers also attended the pre-conference day, and we had a range of workshop and social activities throughout the week. Attendees ranged from
senior academics to postgraduate students, with strong representation
from the wider public health community. We also had representation from a
wide variety of disciplines, including public health, epidemiology,
social sciences, economics, psychology, health services research,
disease prevention, policy, and political science.
Please ask for
the concession at the time of abstract submission. Applications for our
free place scheme will open at the same time as abstract submission.
