WELCOME MESSAGE Welcome to the 16th European Conference on Public Health A knowledge society is emerging in Europe and elsewhere. This is about co-operative networks that incorporate information, communication and technological innovation, changing the way people work and live, producing a new and different economy and providing new opportunities for Public Health. The aim of the 2008 EUPHA Conference is to promote the exchange of ideas and experiences on health and innovation in Europe. The Conference plenary sessions will provide the framework for the debate on health innovation. Through parallel sessions, workshops and posters presentations, the conference offers an attractive opportunity for the active participation of European public health policymakers, practitioners, researchers and students in this debate. On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, EUPHA and the Portuguese Association for the Promotion of Public Health I would like to invite you to take full advantage of this opportunity to express your views and share your experiences in health innovation. We warmly welcome your participation in the 16th EUPHA conference and have been working hard to make your stay in Lisbon an innovative, pleasant, useful and memorable occasion. Constantino Sakellarides Chairman of the Organising Committee EUPHA President 2008/2009
Dear participant, It is my great pleasure, as EUPHA president, to welcome you here in Lisbon to the 16th annual conference on European public health. Innovation is not only the main theme of the conference, but is also applied throughout the conference. Innovation as in: the innovation village, the collaboration with ASPHER, the poster presentation at the EUPHA stand, etc. We hope you will enjoy the innovative nature of this conference and give us your feedback (evaluation form) to improve even more. It seems that the EUPHA conferences are growing every year and every year we create more opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing. A big conference like the EUPHA conference is organised by a whole network of experts. I would just like to highlight a few: The international scientific committee ensures the scientific quality of the programme The members of our International Scientific Committee had to score a new record of abstracts. Thanks to their relentless efforts, the scientific quality of EUPHA conferences can be ensured and we are – as always – deeply grateful for their work. The local organising committee has been working around the clock to make sure everything runs smoothly. They spent several weekends and evenings organising the details and we are grateful for their dedication. The EUPHA sections have activated their networks to organise several pre conference events and workshops at the conference. We deeply appreciate their proactive and continuous input in EUPHA. Don’t forget that you – as a participant – are free to join any of the 18 annual meetings that are being organised throughout the conference. Finally EUPHA office. A small and virtual office committed to make EUPHA look good. For most of you, the office may seem invisible, but for all of us working closely with EUPHA, the office is the motor that continues to push EUPHA to a bright future. We wish you an interesting and fruitful conference. Ilmo Keskimäki EUPHA president 2007-2008 6

Roundtable on vaccination policies
6th November 2008 Lisbon Congress Centre
Organised by EUPHA, supported by Sanofi Pasteur MSD
Vaccination: a key contributor to Health and Innovation in Europe
“The Successful Implementation of Vaccination Policies: A Public Health Challenge” The new generation of vaccines poses major and unprecedented challenges to the vaccination policies in Europe. With more and more vaccines targeting diseases less perceived as life-threatening or intended to new populations (adolescents, adults and seniors), new factors will influence the level of implementation of vaccination programmes. The success of these programmes is largely linked to the perception of the value of being vaccinated. Individual or general attitudes must be thoroughly analysed and understood as they will represent major drivers or barriers to the successful adoption of vaccination policies and their public health impact. This roundtable will explore ways to better integrate the concept of acceptability of vaccination into policies and practices (authorities’ perspective, communication to healthcare professionals, supportive tools, lessons from recently introduced vaccination against human papillomavirus and cervical cancer). Presentations and a panel discussion will feature the views of Graça Freitas (Ministry of Health, Portugal), Manuel do Carmo Gomes (University of Lisbon; Technical Committee for Vaccination), Paulo Kuteev Moreira (ECDC), Ruth Gelletlie (Health Protection Agency, UK), Pier Luigi Lopalco (ECDC), Paula Valente (St Maria Hospital, Lisbon) and Luc Hessel (Sanofi Pasteur MSD). Chair:
Graça Freitas, Deputy Director General, Portuguese Health Ministry

ABOUT LISBOA ABOUT LISBOA Lisboa’s location, spread over seven low hills, overlooking the river Tejo, once lured traders and settlers, and continues to be a stunning site. Add to that the cultural diversity, a pleasantly temperate climate all year-round and a people that by longstanding tradition offer visitors a warm welcome. Medieval Alfama is the charming and oldest part of the city with its maze-like streets, crowned by the impressive Castelo de São Jorge. The Baixa’s commercial avenues lie just below. The elegant Chiado shopping area climbs up another hill, next to Bairro Alto, home of much of the Lisbon nightlife. The westernmost part of the city, Belém, is the birthplace of the Age of Discoveries. Parque das Nações (the 98 World Expo site) in the northeast side of the city is an area full of 21st century avant-garde architecture built on a most impressive river side site.
A VERY BRIEF HISTORY… Lisboa dates back to pre-Roman times - legend has it that Ulysses founded the city, although it was more probably the Phoenicians. In its early years Lisbon was a constant battleground with Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians taking turn to rule the city. In 714 the powerful Moors arrived and, by fortifying the city, held out against Christian attacks for over 400 years. By 1147 the Moors’ luck turned and the Christian Cruzaders recaptured Lisbon. The 16th century was Portugal’s short-lived golden era of sea exploration when riches were brought from across the oceans. In the late 17th century the discovery of gold in Brazil saw Lisbon enjoy another luxurious period but this time it was cut short by the massive earthquake in 1755 which reduced the city to rubble. In 1910 the monarchy fell and the first Portuguese Republic was proclaimed. Portugal’s democratic phase lasted until 1926, when a military coup reduced Portugal to a period of totalitarian regime under the dictator António Salazar. The costly colonial wars in the 60`s and 70`s within African Portuguese territories, led to the “Carnation Revolution”, a nearly bloodless military coup on 25 April 1974. The new government instituted democratic reforms and granted independence to the African colonies in 1975. In 1986 Portugal became a full member of the European Union.
