From 19 to 21 May 2025, EuroNet MRPH held its Spring Meeting in Paris, hosted across the Pitié-Salpêtrière and Saint-Antoine hospitals. 121 public health residents from across Europe came together under this year’s theme, “Transforming Public Health Professions in the Digital Age.”
The programme wove together keynote sessions and expert roundtables, interactive capacity-building workshops and design challenges, and a high-level European Scientific Contest, alongside the social moments that make these meetings memorable, from walking tours of the city to a shared dinner at a classic Parisian Bouillon.
Paris also marked a milestone for the network: the official launch of the EuroNet MRPH Alumni Section, opening the door to long-term professional exchange across generations of residents. During the meeting we opened the call to host the 2026 Spring Meeting, a call that would take us to L’Aquila.
Congratulations to Tasnim Fareh, winner of the 2025 European Scientific Contest, for work on the association between particulate air pollution and the incidence of breast cancer. The scientific level across the session was exceptional, and every participant left having learned from one another’s work.
What participants told us
We surveyed attendees afterwards (n = 67 responses on satisfaction; n = 121 on travel):
- Satisfaction: 69% satisfied or very satisfied; 72% said the meeting met or exceeded their expectations.
- Scientific level: 67% rated it good or very good.
- Reach: residents joined from Italy, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, the UK, Ireland and Croatia.
- Sustainability: most travelled by train (32%), a figure we’d like to grow, as the network keeps sustainability in view when choosing hosts and formats.
Thank you to the Boards and Leads, the Organising Committee, and every participant who made Paris 2025 a success. The future of public health is something we shape collectively. See you at the next edition.
