Open Calls

SSPH+ regularly launches calls for tasks and activities for which a national coordi­nation is necessary or where the critical mass at a single insti­tution is lacking. SSPH+ does not support or co-support activities supported by local universities, SNSF or other usual funders, but steps in for cross-institutional activities not supported by the latter.

  • Call for Abstracts - Swiss Public Health Conference 2026

    Health is complex, and it is precisely in this complexity that its beauty lies

    A dialogue between research and practice across science, society, and the humanities

    Public health is complex — and that complexity is a strength. The 2026 conference creates space for exchange between science, practice, policy, and lived experience. We welcome researchers, practitioners, patient advocates, and all those engaged in health and society.

    • focus on co-creation, participation, and implementation in real contexts

    Submission formats:

    • Oral Presentation (10 min + discussion)

    • Workshop (75 min interactive session)

    • Poster (incl. flash presentation)

    Languages: English, German, or French
