BUILDING EUROPE’S CAMPUS FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

Focus Areas

EUGLOH shares an understanding of global health as a highly interdisciplinary concept that requires concerted action and development in education, research, innovation and service to society directed at equitable health for humans and for the ecosystems in which they live. EUGLOH’s concept of global health addresses all subject areas – including but not limited to human and veterinary medicine, natural sciences, life sciences, data sciences, engineering, arts, humanities and social sciences. The alliance aims to identify and anticipate Global Health challenges, to seek innovative, interdisciplinary, transnational solutions to these challenges as well as unite and foster fundamental expertise in (basic) research and training of the next generation of global health experts. 

In order to enhance the Alliance’s profile, EUGLOH is currently developing its focus areas together with experts from the EUGLOH partner universities using a mixed methods approach. The focus areas will serve to promote cross-disciplinary, cross-national and cross-sectoral collaboration, leveraging the expertise and resources of our partner universities in addressing global health challenges. 

Previously, EUGLOH centered its work around the following core domains that serve as a basis for the development of focus areas. These core domains encompass a broad spectrum of disciplines, ensuring a comprehensive approach to global health and well-being:
