What is needed to truly transform the systems that shape human health?

Join us for the Human Health Transitions Day 2026, organised in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research. This inspiring event brings together researchers, educators, policymakers, societal partners and professionals to explore how health can drive meaningful change across society.

What to expect?

Through inspiring keynote speakers, interactive breakout sessions and cross-sector dialogue, we will showcase transdisciplinary perspectives on human health, prevention, food systems, behaviour, living environments, governance and innovation.

Together, we will explore how knowledge can be translated into practical solutions, effective policies and tangible societal impact. By connecting expertise from different fields, we aim to uncover new opportunities for collaboration and accelerate the transition towards healthier and more sustainable futures.

The day offers space for fresh perspectives, unexpected encounters and inspiring conversations that bridge disciplines and sectors working on health, food, behaviour, technology and the built environment.
