Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 10th Conference of the European Association of Health Law, to be held at Uppsala University, Sweden, from 9–11 September 2026.

The conference aims to bring together health law scholars and stakeholders from across Europe and beyond to explore the frontiers of European health law. We will examine emerging issues, revisit established domains facing new challenges, and engage in discussions that inspire evolving interpretations and fresh perspectives.

Participants will also experience the rich traditions and vibrant academic culture of Uppsala University, Sweden’s oldest university. Founded in 1477, Uppsala has long stood at the heart of European scholarship and continues to inspire curiosity, collaboration, and discovery.

Stay tuned for updates on the conference, including registration details and program announcements, here on this website and across our social media channels.

We look forward to welcoming you to Uppsala!

Program overview

This is a preliminary program and may be subject to change

Wednesday, September 9, 2026

09:00-12:00	Early career European health law scholars program: navigating health law in an evolving Europe from an early career stage Co-leads: Tamara Hervey and TBC (early career scholars) The early career European health law scholars program will consider how the upcoming generation of scholars (primarily PhD students) may be enabled to navigate the frontiers of their chosen discipline. The precise modalities of the program will be co-produced by early career scholars and Tamara Hervey, who has been involved in the discipline for several decades. It is likely to include presentations on the craft and art of academic writing; some ‘active learning’ or reflection; and an opportunity for students to present their work in progress and receive feedback on it, to help them navigate their own ways forward.
