Subject: ECDC online courses ‘Introduction to evidence based public health 
(EBPH)’ - Invitation to propose participants – first deadline 3 June 2024

To: NFPs for scientific advice coordination (members and alternates), NFPs 
for public health training (members and alternates)

Cc: National Coordinator Competent Bodies (members and alternates)

Dear Colleagues,

Following the two very successful trainings organised by ECDC on evidence 
based public health (EBPH) at the beginning of this year, and the high 
demand for attendance, we are pleased to announce that we are able to offer 
additional courses in 2024:

*	One 4-day in person course ‘Methods and tools for evidence-based public 
health with a focus on infectious disease epidemiology, prevention, and 
control’, 4 consecutive days at ECDC premises (free of charge but note that 
ECDC is not covering travel and accommodation costs of participants)

*	24-27 September 2024 (up to 20 participants)

Note that we will send out a separate invitation for the in-person workshop.

*	Two online instructor-led short courses ‘Introduction to evidence-based 
public health (EBPH), 2x 3.5 hours on two consecutive days (free of charge)

*	10-11 June 2024 (up to 40 participants)
*	16-17 September 2024 (up to 40 participants)

With the shorter online course format, we aim to give the opportunity to a 
larger number of colleagues in the Member States to attend. Participants of 
the online courses will get a basic understanding of key terms and concepts 
of evidence-based public health and evidence-informed decision-making.

With this message, we would like to invite the National Focal Points to 
propose possible participants for the two 2024 online courses.

Each country is invited to propose up to three names (see the tables below) 
and rank the proposed names in the order of priority. Two more names can be 
proposed which will be placed on a waiting list.

Kindly note that the number of spaces is restricted and therefore we will 
apply a combination of first come-first served with a ceiling by country, to 
allow as many countries as possible to have at least one participant in each 
course. Therefore, depending on the number of requests received, we might be 
forced to accept less than three participants per country.

NOTE for the following countries: Austria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, 
France, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain.

Please do not propose any names following this email, as we will be 
contacting you shortly with a separate email regarding your proposals. The 
reason for this is because we are already having a list of possible 
participants proposed by your country, that were placed on a waiting list 
from the last course.

Please fill in the table(s) below and send it back to us by the indicated 
deadline.
