EEHF - The Emergency Environmental Health Forum is an international research and learning event.
We bring together WASH implementers, researchers, donors and policymakers together to discuss the latest research, evaluations and learning on humanitarian WASH programmes.
Our objectives are to:
- Share new research and learning from humanitarian WASH programmes
- Discuss new approaches and innovations that would benefit populations affected by or at-risk of humanitarian crises
- Identify research gaps and generate research questions at a practice, policy and research level for humanitarian WASH
- Build new partnerships with donors, practitioners and researchers
Submission of abstracts is now closed.
Applicants will be notified of their acceptance or rejection by 30 March 2026.
Contact us at EEHF.abstracts@lshtm.ac.uk with any questions.

The 2026 EEHF will be held over three days. Days 1-2 will focus on Research, Learning and Evaluation that aims to inform emergency WASH practice and policy. Day 3 will host an Innovation Showcase of products, processes and solutions that aim to solve an emergency WASH-related problem. The schedule will feature over 40 verbal presentations, Espresso slot presentations, and hold several panel discussions and highlighted speakers across the three days. The schedule will be shared closer to the event. We look forward to seeing you there!
