As Norway is hosting the conference on behalf of the Nordic networks of epidemiology and pharmacoepidemiology, the local committee ensures strong local engagement and national representation, overseeing logistics and realisation of the scientific programme. Together, the committees reflect both the host country\u2019s role and broad Nordic representation in epidemiology and pharmacoepidemiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
