Invest4Health is a Horizon Europe-funded initiative focused on increasing financing for health promotion and disease prevention. Our mission is to incentivise investments and maximise resources in these critical areas, looking at strategies that may span multiple sectors and improve utilisation of resources.
We invite you to join us for a public online workshop, Monday, 10 December 2024, from 10.00-12.30PM CET. We will present the Invest4Health’s research findings to date, lessons from our current pilot locations (in Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), and discuss opportunities to engage with our experts during the next 18 months.
