The action will support the EU4Health Programme’s general objective of improving and fostering health in the Union (Article 3, points (a) to (d), of Regulation (EU) 2021/522) through the specific objectives defined in Article 4, points (a) to (j), of Regulation (EU) 2021/522.

The objective of this action is to support the organisation of not-for-profit, Union-wide highlevel science-policy-society events that bring together all interested parties such as citizens, patients, practitioners, scientists, policy makers from local, regional, and Union level. The events will cover important health topics that are related to the Union’s health priorities, and thereby contribute to the development and implementation of the European Health Union.

These conferences are an opportunity for discussion on how to work better together at Union level on one or more health-related topics and will involve Member States, third countries associated to the EU4Health Programme and relevant stakeholders to exchange information and good practices on relevant topics in the field of public health.

Grants may be awarded to support the organisation of conferences and events that correspond to the general or specific objectives and the priorities of the EU4Health Programme and which have a Union-wide dimension.
