Thinking of presenting an EU health governance paper at the ECPR Standing Group on European Union conference in June 2022? Join us! EUHealthGov will be submitting a pre-formed panel(s) to the conference, and can offer subsidised participation for one network member. Full details for the call can be found below.
The EUHealthGov network invites submission of abstracts on the theme of Health Governance in the European Union, to join a pre-formed panel at the upcoming ECPR Standing Group on European Union (SGEU) conference.
The conference will take place in person at LUISS University, Rome, between 8 and 10 June 2022.
Submission may explore all areas of EU health law and policy, including but not limited to:
- The EU’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent changes to the health governance framework (European Health Union, proposals for a strengthened health security framework, etc.)
- Public health, health determinants and health inequalities in and across member states
- The role of European actors – the Commission, the Parliament, the agencies, WHO Europe etc. – in health and health governance
- The impact of the single market upon health systems, for example via competition law, pharmaceutical regulation, migration of health professionals, trade…
- The inclusion of health in broader governance frameworks such as the European Semester, the Pillar of Social Rights, the European Green Deal…
As part of our UACES research network on EU Health Governance, we are delighted to offer subsidised participation at the conference.
