The VvE organizes a number of pre-conferences prior to the EPICON. The themes of the pre-conferences are topical and specifically aimed at certain target groups, such as public health epidemiology or epidemiology education.
The epidemiological congress has been organised annually since 1979. This congress offers (young) epidemiologists the opportunity to present and discuss the results of their research on a national level. The EPICON also offers space for networking.
