The EPPEC conference provides a meeting platform for senior and junior researchers, who are passionate about applying epidemiologic methods to reproduction, child health, and life-course research, in Europe and elsewhere. We have eminent keynote speakers, who are all prominent researchers within their respective fields, lined up for you. Additionally, we are excited to provide a dedicated space in the program for talented young researchers, offering them an opportunity to present their work and contribute to the collective knowledge of the community.
