ASPHER 2021 Deans' & Directors' Virtual Retreat

27-28 September 2021

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 the ASPHER Deans’ & Directors Retreat in Sofia, Bulgaria has been postponed until 2022. However, we hope you joined us for the afternoon Virtual Retreat from on 27-28 September 2021.

ASPHER is busy preparing for the annual Deans’ & Directors Retreat. Due to COVID-19 conditions, we felt it best to organise a virtual event again this year, but we are thrilled to be able to offer an exciting programme to all members! Don’t miss it!

The Retreat will feature four Plenary Sessions on the themes of: Education & Health; Professionalisation; Global governance; and Planning for an outbreak of health. 

There will be four Parallel Session Tracks: PS-A: The Pandemic: Perspectives on Lessons Learned; PS-B: ASPHER Business, Competencies & Core Curriculum; PS-C ASPHER Networking: Members, Accreditation & Careers; and PS-D The Pandemic: Schools’ Contribution & Roles. 

A special Public Health Gaming evening social is also planned.

The Retreat is free to Members, but registration is required. Register here.

Organised each year in a different location within the European region, the Deans' & Directors' Retreat is the most important ASPHER membership events of the calendar year.

This high level meeting of the heads of our member institutions plays a significant role in evaluating the ongoing activities, whilst also planning and organising the future direction of ASPHER. Since 2014, the General Assembly meetings of the Association take place in the context of the annual Deans' and Directors' Retreats of the Association.
