SSPH+ Annual Meeting 2025: Breaking Walls

In 2025, SSPH+ held its Annual Meeting at the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) from 4–5 June. The meeting, held under the theme “Breaking Walls”, brought together the SSPH+ community to reflect on collaboration and innovation in public health sciences. The event also marked a significant milestone, celebrating 20 years of SSPH+ and its collective commitment to shaping public health together.

More than 170 participants gathered to exchange knowledge, network, and engage in inspiring plenary and parallel sessions covering topics from youth well-being and sustainable health workforce development to the future of public health publishing. Plenary session slides, photos, and Jonas’ cartoons are now online! Please visit: SSPH+ Annual Meeting Programm 2025.

Looking ahead, the SSPH+ Annual Meeting 2026 will take place on 23-24 June at the University of Fribourg under the theme "Protecting Science - Protecting Health". Please find the program here.
