EUPHA - European Public Health Association

What EUPHA - European Public Health Association does

EUPHA (European Public Health Association) is a non-profit membership association founded in 1992 and headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands. It is the leading independent scientific network for public health in Europe, uniting over 6,000 public health experts through 72 member organizations across 35 countries in the WHO European Region. The organization serves public health professionals, researchers, policymakers, national public health associations, and students/early-career professionals through structured membership tiers, 30+ expert sections covering topics from chronic diseases to digital health and AI, and programs such as EUPHAnxt (mentoring, internships, abstract tutoring).

Its core offerings are community-based rather than software-based. Core products include the EUPHA Membership Directory and database; the annual European Public Health Conference (EPH Conference), the largest gathering of public health professionals in Europe; the European Journal of Public Health, published with Oxford University Press; the annual European Public Health Week (EUPHW); and the EUPHAnxt network for students and young professionals. Underlying technology is lightweight: a member database (db.eupha.org), integrations with Parthen (conference registration) and CM.com (payment processing), and standard web/newsletter infrastructure. There is no proprietary AI product or platform.

EUPHA's business model is a mix of annual membership fees (individual and institutional), transaction-based EPH Conference registration revenue, and project-based funding from EU programmes (EU4Health, including documented grants like EHDS2-Pilot under grant agreement No 101079839 and EARLY under grant agreement No 101095392) and foundation grants (e.g., Healthy Food Healthy Planet). Its go-to-market is community-led: membership recruitment drives the funnel, the EPH Conference and EUPHW drive mid-funnel engagement, and EUPHAnxt and the Sections sustain long-tail participation. Distribution is global and digital, but operational focus remains the WHO European Region, with select global partnerships (UNESCO Chair, WFPHA, IUHPE).

Direct peers

• EPHA - European Public Health Alliance: European civil society alliance for public health. Consortium partner with EUPHA in the FOOD-ACCOUNT project. Operates a similar membership-based advocacy model focused on EU health policy, making it the closest direct European peer.
• EuroHealthNet: European network of public health bodies promoting health equity. Mirrors EUPHA's membership-based, EU-focused convening model and frequently intersects on EU4Health-funded projects and policy advocacy.
• ASPHER - Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region: European association representing public health schools and academic institutions. Co-organizes EUPHA events and is a consortium partner in the EARLY project. Overlaps directly with EUPHA on workforce development and EU-level public health advocacy.
• IUHPE - International Union for Health Promotion and Education: Global organization for health promotion and education professionals. Co-organizes the Global Community Health Annual Workshop with EUPHA and provides accreditation systems, making it a peer across health promotion policy and professional standards.

Broad incumbents

• WHO Regional Office for Europe: UN agency covering the WHO European Region — EUPHA's explicit market scope. Acts as both a peer (overlapping convening and policy influence) and a partner, with EUPHA serving 'the WHO European Region'.
• WFPHA - World Federation of Public Health Associations: Global umbrella of national public health associations. Already an EUPHA partner (EUPHAnxt 'Born Online' series), it is the most direct global counterpart delivering the same membership-based public health convening model at worldwide scale.
• APHA - American Public Health Association: US-based national public health association. A broad incumbent peer with the same membership-association model, large annual conference, and advocacy function, but US-focused rather than pan-European.

Regional players

• ECDC - European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: EU agency for infectious disease surveillance and response. Operates in the same European public health ecosystem as EUPHA, the Infectious Diseases Control Section interacts with ECDC, and both are recurrent EU4Health beneficiaries.

Emerging players

• WONCA Europe: European branch of the World Organization of National Colleges of Family Physicians. Partners with EUPHA in the EARLY project; operates a similar society-based, EU-level network of health professionals with event-driven convening.

Others

• EHESP - French School of Public Health: Leading European public health graduate school. Co-organizes the Global Community Health Annual Workshop with EUPHA. Functions as an academic/training peer and recurring partner rather than a direct competitor.
