International Week Allied Health & Social Studies 2026

Many social and health issues do not stop at international borders. On 4 and 5 February 2026 we organize the 14th edition of the HAN International Week Allied Health & Social Studies. This year's theme is: Open Up! We hope to see you this week.

We warmly invite you to participate in our International Week organized by Allied Health and Social Studies. This week will be held at the HAN University of Applied Sciences in Nijmegen in early February. The conference will be attended by more than 1000 of our second-year students from Allied Health and Social Studies. The program consists of lectures, workshops, and exchange sessions.

This is also a great opportunity to meet international colleagues, exchange knowledge and experiences on topics related to health and wellbeing. Join us and discuss the latest developments in the profession and in education, strengthen current partnerships and build new ones.

We hope to welcome you and your colleagues as contributors to the program of 2026.
