Teachers and researchers from NOVA National School of Public Health at the NOVA University Lisbon have taken a growing role in international initiatives, giving prestige to the School and reinforcing its position as a reference teaching institution in the area of public health.
Good examples of this are the active participation in the 13th IOHA International Scientific Conference, Dublin (in which Susana Viegas participated with a presentation integrated into the conference theme, Protecting workers from health hazards: Advancing in this changing world) and the 11th European Conference on Quality in Official Statistics (which featured a presentation by Sílvia Lopes, on “Take the most of vital statistics with value for global health: the case of place of death”).
