Conference Youth Scholarships: Call for Applications

The FILTERED consortium of partners is offering 20 young enthusiasts a scholarship that fully covers all expenses for the conference "Challenging Big Industry Narratives: Alcohol, Tobacco, Unhealthy Food and Drinks: Population Measures and Policies". The conference will take place between 27th and 28th of June 2024 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Recognising the importance of youth representation in this event, the International Youth Health Organisation is arranging a dedicated youth event on June 29th. Those awarded the scholarship are expected to participate fully in the conference, as well as attending the youth event afterwards. The conference aims to provide a platform for policymakers, advocates, researchers, patients, youth, and health practitioners to collectively address the challenges of reducing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by effectively managing their main risk factors.
