International Health Promoting Campuses Conference (IHPC) 2025

Postgraduate Researchers’ Hub (PGR Hub)

 

The International Health Promoting Campuses Conference (IHPC) is a pivotal event dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of academic communities worldwide. Central to the success of this conference is the Postgraduate Researchers’ Hub, a group tasked with representing the diverse perspectives of students. The student body is arguably the most significant stakeholder in health-promoting initiatives on campuses. This committee serves as a bridge between the student body and the conference organisers, ensuring that the concerns, ideas, and innovative solutions proposed by students are given due consideration and prominence.

 

Active participation from the PGR Hub will enhance the relevance and effectiveness IHPC 2025 activities. By prioritising student voices, the conference aims to ensure that the proposed health promoting solutions are not only theoretically sound but also practically applicable and widely accepted.

 

We wish to engage with the student body BEFORE the event to:

 

1.         Contribute to the Charter Renewal process, by engaging with surveys and focus groups

2.         Gauge interest in PGR workshops / networking events for IHPC 2025 in Limerick

3.         Collaborative planning sessions for the scientific and social programme

4.         Marketing activities

 

DURING the event we propose that PGR members might:

 

1.         Contribute to panels and discussions in the scientific programme

2.         Create and host opportunities for networking

3.         Provide real-time feedback mechanisms from students

4.         Contribute to facilitating the Charter Renewal participatory events during IHPC 2025

 

The conference presents a valuable opportunity for postgraduate researchers and students to showcase their contributions to the field of health promotion. PGRs can present their research, share methodologies, discuss findings, and engage in critical discussions with peers and experts. This exchange of knowledge not only validates their work but also fosters a collaborative environment conducive to innovation and improvement in health-promoting practices. The IHPC 2025 conference at the University of Limerick aims to facilitate the building of a robust network of professionals, researchers, and fellow students. These connections can extend beyond the conference, offering ongoing support, collaboration opportunities, and a platform for sharing resources and advancements in the field.

 

We welcome participation in the PGR Hub from any interested graduate researchers. Aoife Noonan (contacted via PGRHub_IHPC@ul.ie) is the local contact and coordinator of the PGR Hub. Once we have a committee assembled, online meetings will be monthly at a time convenient to most.
