The European Public Health Association (EUPHA) is looking for an intern at the EUPHA office. We are looking for a person with a background in public health and communications, preferably with experience in organising webinars or eager to learn this. The short internship (two or three months) is a chance to be part of the day-to-day work of the office. There are some specific projects in which the intern can be involved, such as the development and organisation of a EUPHA webinar on a public health topic. Some other communication and design activities are also amongst the possibilities. Starting date is flexible, preferably in August, September or October. Travel and accommodation costs associated with the internship are covered by EUPHA, as well as a daily subsistence allowance for the duration of the internship. If you are interested please sent a short motivational letter and your CV to info@euphanxt.org with in the email subject heading ‘intern at EUPHA office - webinar’. For questions you may contact EUPHAnxt (same email address).

Over the years, the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) has increased its visibility and impact in Europe. For this, several tools have been developed (e.g. active twitter account, mailing list to key European-level policymakers), but is this enough?
If EUPHA wants to have an influence on European policymakers both at European level (EU and WHO Europe) as well as – through our national associations – at national level, EUPHA needs to set up a communication and marketing strategy. The short-term Communication & marketing strategic officer will look at:

• Which tools have been developed and are they effective?
• Which tools are missing and should be developed?
• Should EUPHA have a permanent presence in Brussels (European Union)?
• Should EUPHA have a permanent presence in Copenhagen (WHO Europe)?
• How can EUPHA put a long term communication and marketing strategy in place in the coming years?

EUPHA is looking for an enthusiastic and experienced communication specialist at European level, preferably in the Brussels region. Applications should include a CV and motivational letter and should be sent by 15 July 2018 to: d.zeegers@euphaoffice.org. For further information, please contact the Executive Director, Dr Zeegers Paget.
