16th World Congress on Public Health / 13th European Public Health Conference 2020

The 2020 World Congress on Public Health / European Public Health Conference cut deep into the core of global health challenges.

Experts from across continents converged to share raw, unfiltered research. Keynote speakers delivered sharp insights into emerging health strategies. Workshops dissected complex epidemiological patterns with precision. Each session burned with the intensity of scientific discovery. Researchers presented data that challenged existing paradigms. The conference was not just an event. It was a battlefield of ideas, where knowledge fought against ignorance. Collaborative discussions mapped new territories in public health intervention. No stone was left unturned in the pursuit of understanding human health’s most pressing issues.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic it had to be a fully virtual conference. The conference was originally scheduled to be held in Rome, Italy. The conference was co-organised with the World Federation of Public Health Associations, the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SItI), the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) and the European Public Health Conference. Because of the pandemic and the restrictions to travel and meeting events, the programme was adapted to a virtual event of three days, without reducing the number of sessions.
