The 20th IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion was focusing on health, equity and sustainable development. The coming months and years will tell if we have reached the main goal of this meeting which was to build bridges between health promotion and sustainable development.

There is a good chance that IUHPE will achieve this as the conference has been a resounding success with more than 2,200 participants attending from 123 countries and all continents. For all those involved, it has been an impressive gathering, with participants having the choice between a variety of events, ranging from poster sessions and oral presentations to plenary sessions, all in all more than 2,000 events – a flood of information and many opportunities for a lively debate.

The inspiring insights will now provide IUHPE with a strong impetus to follow this up in our day-to-day professional practice and life.

Congratulations first! …
