The international conference Echoes of Conflict: Health Consequences of War and Violence Across Generations aims to explore the enduring impacts of war and violence on individuals and communities, with a focus on their physical, mental, and societal dimensions. Marking eighty years since the end of the Second World War, this conference seeks to shift the focus from global political consequences to the intimate effects of war on health, emphasizing transgenerational outcomes. By examining governmental and societal responses, as well as the experiences of affected families and individuals, the conference will provide a comprehensive understanding of the lasting legacy of conflict. The event will also explore how mass violence, displacement, and regime changes have shaped societies and influenced the health of subsequent generations.
