Welcome to the EU Best Practice Portal on Public Health

About the EU Best Practice Portal on Public Health

The European Commission supports Member States and stakeholders in addressing public health challenges by promoting cooperation between countries and supporting their actions. By identifying, collecting and transferring best and promising practices, the EU Best Practice Portal on Public Health helps Member States to improve public health and achieve the health-related Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, and to reach the UN/WHO global voluntary targets for health.

The portal is designed to provide reliable and practical information on practices on public health recognised as best or promising. It covers a wide range of topics, including health promotion, disease prevention and determinants of health, management of non-communicable diseases and communicable diseases. In this way, the portal serves as a resource for policymakers, stakeholders and citizens to find evidence-based practices and share knowledge across the EU.

Submitting best or promising practices for evaluation

Initiatives on public health can be submitted in two ways. They can either be submitted in response to a specific call from the European Commission or through an open call.

Regular calls for the submission of best or promising practices are launched on the basis of national and EU health priorities. This is discussed in the Public Health Expert Group which is the forum for discussion and exchange with the Member States.

Those practices which are evaluated as ‘best’ or ‘promising’ according to the criteria agreed by the Expert Group on Public Health, will be published in the portal.
