On 4–5 March 2026, two key meetings of the JA PreventNCD project will take place in Copenhagen, during which project partners will review achievements to date and define directions for the next phase of the initiative on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevention across Europe.
On 4 March, the annual meeting with the WHO Regional Office for Europe will be held. As an Associated Partner, WHO supports the implementation of the Joint Action. The meeting will cover project progress so far, collaboration across key technical areas, and actions aimed at ensuring the sustainability and maximum impact of the JA PreventNCD project in Europe. An important point will also be a discussion on the significance of the EU Cardiovascular Health Plan for shaping health policy across Europe.
On 5 March, the JA PreventNCD Executive Committee meeting will take place. We are now over halfway through the project, and the meeting will provide an opportunity to:
- review progress to date,
- define strategic priorities for the next phase,
- ensure that the key project results are being achieved according to its objectives.
The meeting will also address upcoming reports, stakeholder engagement activities, and preparations for key events planned in 2026. The meetings will also be attended by Katarzyna Brukało, PhD, Associate Professor at the Medical University of Silesia..
