Interested in tobacco control? Willing to get involve in smoking and tobacco prevention? The European Network for Smoking and Tobacco Prevention just launched a call for membership. Further information available below.
The European Network for Smoking and Tobacco Prevention (ENSP) is an independent, international not-for-profit organisation founded under Belgian law which aims to put an end to tobacco consumption and to develop a common strategy, amongst organizations active in smoking prevention and tobacco control in Europe, by sharing information and experience and through co-ordinated activities and projects. The two top priority objectives are (i) to have the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (hereinafter referred to as “FCTC”) implemented in Europe by 2020 and (ii) to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in Europe to less than 5% by 2040.
Amongst the activities conducted by the organisation, they are notably:
– to focus in priority on coordination and consensus building, education, prevention and cessation;
– to facilitate the creation and the development of national and international alliances for smoking prevention and tobacco control in Europe, as well as the support of their actions;
– to promote collaboration amongst Member organisations and support their actions;
– to stimulate and participate in joint projects at national and international level;
– to sponsor, promote and organise education and training seminars, conferences, missions, and exhibitions, on matters relevant to smoking and tobacco prevention and cessation.
