2019 is the last full year of the EUPHA strategy 2014-2020: Voicing knowledge. Enhancing capacity. The 2014-2020 strategy has allowed EUPHA to strengthen capacity building throughout Europe and has given our EUPHA sections and EUPHAnxt the visibility they deserve. Voicing knowledge has made big steps forwards with the help of our two presidents: Martin McKee and Natasha Azzopardi Muscat. But society has changed, new threats (fake news) are surfacing, old threats (measles) are coming back and EUPHA and its members need to adapt. In 2018, a working group was installed with representatives from our members, our sections, our Executives and EUPHAnxt to discuss what EUPHA should focus on in the next 5 years. The new strategy has (hopefully) been adopted by all our members in November 2019 (the day before the conference) and is presented here. Next to the new strategy, EUPHA will have to develop a 5-year work plan to describe what needs to be done to achieve this strategy. More importantly, what is expected of the public health network. What skills do they need? How should the training, life-long education be shaped? In this workshop, we will first present the changing environment (McKee), followed by a presentation on our new strategy (Azzopardi Muscat and Nagyova). We will than have a Round Table with representatives of our members and of our partners. Questions to be discussed/answered are: do they have these skills already, how can we move forward, what is missing. Round Table members: Danijela Stimac, Croatian Public Health AssociationYves Charpak, French Society of Public HealthJorid Grimeland, Norwegian Public Health AssociationPasquale Cacciatore, EUPHAnxtWalter Ricciardi, Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health, president-elect of the World Federation of Public Health AssociationsKasia Czabanowska, ASPHER immediate past president Public health will be stronger when we plan collaborative actions.
