Tracks

Track 1:

Besides getting a first insight into global health, students will have the opportunity to develop skills in areas such as intercultural and -disciplinary communication, presentation skills, working together in multidisciplinary teams. The programme's international scope will be highlighted, as students from diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds will work through case studies in groups, providing a rich variety of perspectives on global health issues and fostering interdisciplinary and international competencies. This experience will not only demonstrate the students' comprehensive understanding of global health but also foster dialogue between professionals from multiple disciplines, furthering collaboration in tackling worldwide health challenges.

Track 2:

After having completed their participation in the EUGLOH Certificate of Advanced Studies in Global Health offered by LMU Munich since the spring of 2024, students will have the chance to directly engage with the content and methodologies they learnt and present their research during a poster presentation session. This activity will allow students to showcase their projects addressing complex global health challenges in an interdisciplinary setting. Drawing on insights from the vast diversity of disciplines they represent, the presentations will reflect the broad range of expertise students have gained and deepened during their participation in the programme.

This poster session will be included in the programme of the upcoming “Global Health Forum 2027” at LMU Munich, an event aimed at connecting researchers, educators and staff to strengthen EUGLOH as a platform for interdisciplinary and international education, research and innovation in Global Health.

This track is only open to students from the 3rd Cohort of the EUGLOH Certificate of Advanced Studies in Global Health.
