Detailed project description

The project aims to promote health and social well-being in the Northern Dimension region by strengthening the profile of these issues on regional agendas, engaging stakeholders in the work of the NHPS/NDPHS, and generating evidence-based knowledge and recommendations.
It relies on the organisation of scientific events and thematic workshops to inform public decision-making.

• Organise three scientific workshops based on the PYLL study to raise awareness and equip decision-makers for evidence-based action.
• Develop a report on the accessibility and cross-border trade of alcohol to formulate concrete recommendations for decision-makers.

Expected outcomes
