The Univeristy of Pécs Medical School Chair of Migration Health is organizing the conference titled Health 2020 for Rural Population with a Special Attention on Increasing Diversity of Rural Regions’ Population and its Health, Public Health, Occupational Health Impacts on 24-26 August 2020. The conference will be held in cooperation with the International Association of Rural Health and Medicine (IARM), and WHO Regional Office in Europe.
We have invited Lola Casal Sanchez to give a keynote speech at the conference which will have a section concentrating on aging in rural areas. As our main theme is diversity, migrant health and the health of other vulnerable groups will be in the focus of this section. We would like to kindly invite ENIEC members to participate and share their experiences through presentations. Registration through the conference website (http://www.ruralhealthpecs2020.hu/) will be open in February, and the abstracts shall be submitted until 31 May 2020. If you would need more information do not hesitate to contact us, however, Professor Szilárd and Erika Marek will also come to Tallinn and we can discuss the meeting in more detail.
