Upcoming IUHPE World Conference
One of the best New Year’s resolution you can make for 2019 is to join the health promotion community at the 23rd IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion in Rotorua (7th to 11th April 2019).
The preliminary conference programme is available to view and will give you an idea on just how much has been packed into this awesome event.
The Master Class series is being offered for the first time, to provide a unique opportunity for students and early career researchers and health promotion practitioners to develop a network, and meet with more senior, experienced colleagues.
There will be 25 Master Classes, allowing a one-on-one interaction with seasoned health promotion researchers and practitioners recognised for their original contributions to the field of health promotion and public health.
We firmly believe this can be a valuable learning experience for potential apprentices so share the news with your friends and colleagues and encourage them to sign up for this opportunity to learn from experts in their field.
The early bird period for registrations is now closed, but don’t forget as an IUHPE member you are entitled to a reduced rate.
