Health Promotion Conference

Expand all

On behalf of Health Promotion at the National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway, we extend a very warm welcome to you all to the 25th Annual Health Promotion Conference, which will be hosted online by NUI Galway on Thursday 24th June, 2021. The theme of this year's event is ‘Health Promotion through E-Health: Challenges and Opportunities’.

We have embraced the opportunity to offer this year’s conference in a fully digital format. This change is particularly relevant to this year's theme of E-health promotion. Abstract submission is now open.

The presentations and discussions will be live throughout the day and we will also be tweeting @HPRC_NUIG. Delegates are encouraged to upload their contact details when registering to get the most out of this networking opportunity and to join us at break times for discussions over coffee. The conference sessions will be accessible to all who register, in real time on 24^th June, 2021 and the presentations will be available for delegates after the event.

This event is hosted in collaboration with the Department of Health, Health Service Executive and the Association for Health Promotion Ireland. It will provide a platform to highlight cutting-edge research and innovative initiatives as well as to expand links between knowledge and action, and to broaden connections among a diversity of researchers, policymakers and practitioners. Delegates will hear from international and national experts on implementation developments and challenges and will have the opportunity to network with colleagues working in research, policy and practice. We look forward to welcoming researchers, practitioners and policymakers from around the world that are engaged in work in this area.
