Partnerships
At EPHA, we promote public health in Europe by advocating for evidence-based policies and practices. As part of our work, we collaborate with a range of external actors, including other non-profit organisations, academic institutions, and government bodies.
EPHA’s partnerships with external actors are based on a shared commitment to improving public health outcomes in Europe. These partnerships are typically focused on specific public health issues or policy areas, such as tobacco control, nutrition, or access to healthcare. Some of the benefits of EPHA’s partnerships with external actors include growth in expertise and resources, amplified advocacy efforts, and increased visibility.
