At LMU, a team of students coordinated by Prof. Matthias Siebeck works on the implementation of a global health curriculum. Students from EUGLOH partner universities are welcome to join for informal discussions on various topics of global health.

On Thu 2 July 2020 at 6 PM (CET) there will be a journal-club with Luka Zivkovic about "Antibiotics against dictators? The link between infectious diseases and authoritarianism". Jan Stratil, Chair for Public Health and Health Services Research at LMU, is invited as discussant. For preparation, before the meeting, two papers Luka has chosen should be read: www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1607398113 and doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0062275 (uploaded in the LMoodle).
