NEW: Partnership with Charité University Hospital in Berlin
The Summer School in Global Health Challenges (SSGHC) will in 2012 collaborate with Charité University Hospital in Berlin on setting the agenda for transformative education in Global Health in Europe. The SSGHC will as in previous years offer a 2-week extensive introduction to Global Health, and this year Berlin will follow up with a 1-week theme-based Summer School focusing on Global Health and Malnutrition from the 16th-22nd of September.
The Summer School in Berlin will provide insights into Global Food Actors, Food Security and Financial Markets, Land Rights and Trade Agreements and finalize with the first European Conference in Global Health.
