EUREGHA Annual Conference 2024 – Driving implementation forward – Regional and local health authorities as key partners in the new European mandate

EUREGHA is pleased to invite you to its Annual High-Level Conference, taking place in Brussels on the 5th of December 2024 (14:00 – 17:30, followed by networking reception until 19:30 CET) at the Northern Ireland Executive Office, 1^st Floor – Chaussee d’Etterbeek 180, 1040 Etterbeek, Brussels

The 2024 EUREGHA Conference will spotlight the pivotal role of regional and local health authorities in driving the implementation of European legislation, initiatives, and health system innovations. Positioned as essential partners to European institutions and health stakeholders, these authorities are key to bridging policy and practice. The event will begin with an opening keynote, followed by a policy-focused dialogue that will connect regional and European experts and policymakers to explore the drivers and challenges of fostering stronger partnerships for progress, building on the published EUREGHA Manifesto ‘for 2024 and beyond’.

A practice-oriented session will then showcase regional examples of innovation and implementation, complemented by insights from relevant stakeholders on key health policy areas. Before the closing, the event will highlight EUREGHA’s latest initiative: a series of informative factsheets on its members, aimed at promoting their work and facilitating partnerships across Europe.

The event will conclude with a networking reception, providing participants with valuable opportunities to connect, exchange insights, and learn about key regional and European projects featuring significant regional involvement.
