Health promotion is a key priority in shaping health policies in the European Union, which has funded the operation of the program "European Masters in Health Promotion Studies, EUMAHP" (https://www.brighton.ac.uk/research/groups/healthcare-practice-and-rehabilitation/research-projects/eumahp.aspx) in collaboration with 15 academic centers from European countries, including NKUA in Greece. The aim of the network is to harmonize relevant programs and develop a unified European degree title, with the goal of enhancing the quality of scientific training and education for professionals involved in health promotion. Hence the ultimate goal is to foster a common approach to public health policy that enables European citizens to achieve and maintain their maximum potential in health.
