New IUHPE website in French and Spanish

The IUHPE is pleased to provide its members and the public with an improved website, in terms of presentation and navigability, in English, French and Spanish. The organisation has experienced unprecedented developments that contribute to place it as major global force in health promotion knowledge building, evidence collection and professional networking with leading international experts. The IUHPE increasingly evolves to function both as a professional membership organisation and as a knowledge creation and dissemination organisation. The website’s new configuration and reorganisation respond to infrastructure and communications adjustments currently being undertaken to help the IUHPE better accommodate its two main functions.
