LATE-BREAKING CALL FOR ABSTRACT

The Global Scientific Committee is re-opening the opportunity for late-breaking submissions to IUHPE2022. We invite you to submit an abstract for presentation of the latest policy and research issues at the 24th IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion in Montreal, Québec, Canada.

Under the conference theme of “promoting policies for health, well-being and equity”, and conference subthemes, “breaking news, breaking free and breaking through”, we particularly invite submissions that demonstrate lessons from contemporary global crisis, including the COVID-19 pan/syndemic, health and climate change (and COP26), racism, and IT/AI/social media use in (alternative) facts in health equity.

Late-breaking abstracts may be submitted as posters and oral presentations in the areas of practice and policy or research. Conference registration is required for all accepted presentations.

The extended deadline for abstract submission is January 24, 2022. Please see conditions for abstract submission and presentation below.
