EU Open Forum 2008 - ‘Developing and Implementing Health in the European Union
14/11/2008 - Submitted by: Tilia Bousios
This conference is being organised by DG 'Health and Consumers' within the activities of the EU Health Forum. The theme of this conference - ‘Developing and Implementing Health in the European Union’- will be an important step towards strengthening the involvement of all stakeholders in contributing to the development and implementation of actions and activities to protect and improve the health of European citizens.
The conference aims to contribute and increase the profile of health in the EU policies through discussion between EU policy makers and stakeholders on pressing public health issues and their impacts on the Community. The EU Open Health Forum is a mechanism for the European Commission to get feedback from stakeholders on the implementation of the EU Health Policy and to identify the need for new policy initiatives at EU level. It also facilitates networking and exchange of best practice in the implementation of public health policies at EU, national, regional and local level.
The European Commission will work closely with stakeholder groups and with regional and local level bodies with a view to optimising their contribution to the implementation of the EU health strategy.
Registration for this EU Open Health Conference is welcome from all interested parties and/or organisations from the broader community who have an interest in EU health policy.
