The Swiss Public Health Conference is organised each year by The Swiss Society for Public Health and the Swiss School of Public Health (SSPH+). Each year, a Swiss academic institution assumes the role of host and takes the scientific-thematic lead. 

The Swiss Society for Public Health is an independent national organisation representing the concerns of public health. With its expert Council, six thematic specialist groups, as well as individual, collective members and donors, it builds a nationwide interdisciplinary network for public health experts, who are given the opportunity for professional exchange. The Swiss Society for Public Health is committed to create optimal conditions and support decision-makers for the improvement of the Swiss population’s health. The Swiss Society for Public Health organizes several symposia on topical health issues each year.

The SwissSchool of Public Health (SSPH+) unites the public health expertise of fourteen Swiss universities within a unique inter-university structure. As a “virtual faculty,” SSPH+ strengthens health sciences through interdisciplinary research, innovative education and training programs, and the promotion of young scientists. More than 270 professors and around 400 doctoral students collaborate on projects spanning epidemiology as well as the social, political, and economic dimensions of health. With its lean, collaborative organization, SSPH+ provides the scientific basis for evidence-based health policy and contributes to the sustainable strengthening of public health in Switzerland and beyond.
