On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, we are looking forward to welcoming you to the University of Newcastle for the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting on Wednesday, 6th – Friday, 8th September 2023, with ECR pre-events on 5th September 2023.
The event is hosted by the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) North East and North Cumbria (NENC), and Fuse, The Centre for Translational Research in Public Health – and will be held on campus at the University of Newcastle. For a promotional video, click here.
You can expect a lot of what makes the ASM such an exciting event every year: cutting-edge research, opportunities for networking and professional development, and a slate of expert panelists and speakers. However, we are aware that as we ease back into a routine, a few things will need to be different. So we are working hard between the scenes to make the ASM an inclusive in-person experience, with plenty of outdoor activities and an entertaining social programme.

Why should I attend?
Anyone interested in population health sciences is very welcome. Come and join us as we share information and network in a friendly and informal atmosphere.
Our three priorities are quality research, networking and career development (especially for early career researchers and mid-career researchers).
Our conference thus welcomes a range of research approaches (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods) to address important issues in population health in its widest sense, spanning wellbeing, illness, and disease.
Who attends?
Last year the conference attracted over 400 participants from all over the world, ranging from senior academics to postgraduate students, with strong representation from the wider public health community. Disciplines ranged from epidemiology, health service research, psychology, public health and social sciences. We are thus a broad family, spanning a wide range of disciplines, including public health, epidemiology, social sciences, economics, psychology, health services research, disease prevention, policy and political science. Participants ranged from students to senior academics, from policymakers to the wider public health community
Some 80 early career researchers attended pre-conference workshops on career development and mentorship.
