Save the Date: FILTERED Conference 2025

Prevention over Profit: Breaking the Silos to Put Health First

3–4 November 2025, Brussels

Despite mounting evidence on the impact of alcohol, tobacco and unhealthy food on public health and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), policies addressing these risk factors remain fragmented and under-resourced across Europe. The FILTERED project, From Silos to Synergies to Prevent NCDs, brings together leading civil society organisations to bridge these divides and advocate for more coherent, integrated action on prevention.

This conference marks the final milestone of the FILTERED project. It will provide a platform to reflect on achievements, share lessons learned, and mobilise support for a more effective European response to the commercial determinants of health.
