This week is especially aimed at the participation of undergraduate/graduate students and young health professionals with an interest in global health and development issues. To foster an interdisciplinary exchange, we welcome all students in humanities and medicine as well as young physicians, or professionals of other fields, who have gained initial experiences in global health and would like to contribute in their professional or educational work to better health for all. The number of participants is limited to 25-30.

We hope, that the pandemic will abate by this summer and will allow for the global health summer school to take place in person in Berlin. We have developed a detailed hygiene and prevention concept which was used successfully during the summer school in 2020. However, travel restrictions will inevitably reduce this year’s international participation. Digital formats will form part of the programme and we will also try to make as many lectures as possible available online. An online participation during the entire course is unfortunately not possible.

If the Covid-19 pandemic does not allow for the summer school to be held at all, we will keep you posted and try to transfer as much of the content as possible into alternative formats. Any participation fees that have been paid at this time will naturally be refunded.
