BAPH - Home

The Belgian Association of Public Health (BAPH) is a scientific organisation of research groups and institutions, health workers and policy makers who are active in the field of public health.
The aims of the association are:

• to increase the knowledge in different domains of public health
• and to stimulate public health research

You are welcome to (re)join the Belgian Association of Public Health by registering your membership.

Members of BAPH are entitled to a discounted article-processing charge when they publish in Archives of Public Health.

Therefore the association organises an annual meeting.
Every two years, this is under the form of a national Symposium on Public Health.
The years between the Symposia, there is a thematic scientific meeting (or Workshop), often in collaboration with a university.
