JA PreventNCD General Assembly

The JA PreventNCD General Assembly will take place 9–11 June 2026 at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) in Rome, Italy, bringing together JA PreventNCD consortium members for three days of progress review, cross-work package exchange, and planning for the next phase.

Two and a half years into the Joint Action, the General Assembly is a key moment to take stock of progress, connect work across the consortium, and focus on how we move from planning and piloting to implementation and impact.

Programme details are still to be confirmed and will be updated closer to the time.

Who should attend?

The meeting is open to all JA PreventNCD consortium partners, including associate partners. It is particularly relevant for colleagues with leading roles in tasks, subtasks, pilots or other key activities (including reporting). Special invitations are also extended to members of the External Expert Advisory Board, project observers, thematic coordinators, and representatives from the DMB, YAG, Ethics Board, Publication Board and Stakeholder Forum.

Key objectives

Over the course of the General Assembly, we will:

• Reflect on key results and lessons learned to strengthen implementation and maximise impact.

• Reinforce the added value of the Joint Action by strengthening collaboration across countries and work packages, and aligning on key achievements and dissemination priorities.

• Support coherence and shared understanding of project objectives, including how contributions connect across the consortium.

• Look ahead to the remainder of the project, including next steps, exploitation of results and sustainability.

Programme and registration

While the programme is still being finalised, topics under discussion include presentations on outputs and success stories, key achievements, cross-cutting themes on risk factors (alcohol, physical inactivity, nutrition and tobacco), as well as sessions on financial management and reporting.

Registration details will be shared soon.
