11 October 2011
Austria
The STEPS Report Public Health Research - Europe's Future was launched on 5th October 2011 at the European Health Forum Gastein, the annual event for health and healthcare policy-makers, researchers and industry.
Professor Mark McCarthy, Coordinator of STEPS and Research Lead for the European Public Health Association, said, “Prevention and healthcare organisation contributes greatly to our health, yet only 5% of health research funds currently go to public health research. The STEPS Report calls to raise this proportion to 25%, and for far greater engagement with all stakeholders to promote European public health research and social innovation.”
