Voices from past participants:

“The course was extremely meaningful for me. It was very well organised and precise. The tutors/mentors were very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to approach. The entire organising team did a fantastic job and made it a very special experience. Hope to come back in the future to learn more about this subject and would love to collaborate and put our learning into practice in the real world to solve health challenges.“

"The issues that were discussed at this event are very relevant not only in Europe, but also in the world."

"I really enjoyed the hands-on work and being able to connect with new people from other parts of the world."

"I liked the internationality, the different backgrounds of the participants and the topic of course. I really enjoyed this during the program."

“SE4H was a great but intense experience. I liked the lectures with immediate chance to apply the knowledge in group work and the freedom to ideate our own idea. Also, the internationality and intercultural experience was great. I loved the talk of our guest speaker from hello better as well as the nice feedback form the jury at the pitches. Overall it has been a really good experience.“
