European Union for School and University Health and Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the European Union for School and University Health and Medicine (EUSUHM), we warmly welcome you to this important gathering of professionals committed to championing the health and well-being of children and adolescents.

In times marked by increasing diversity and persistent social disparities, our shared mission gains even more relevance. As health professionals working in School Health Services across Europe, we have both a unique opportunity and a shared responsibility to support all young people to grow and develop.

Integrating health promotion into educational environments strengthens the link between student well-being and academic achievement, laying the groundwork for long-term societal benefit.

This congress reflects our belief that we are stronger together. By uniting our knowledge, experiences, and visions, we can better address the complex challenges facing youth today and contribute to healthier, more equitable futures.

We look forward to meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and action.

With warm regards,

Gabriele Ellsäßer, EUSUHM president
