The 14th International Global Health Summer School, hosted by IPPNW Germany in cooperation with Charité Berlin, invites 25 participants to join an immersive, interdisciplinary program exploring the urgent intersections of climate justice, health, and peace.

In a time of ecological collapse, backlash against climate action, and widening health inequities, this year's theme is a call to critically examine the systems at the root of these crises—and to reimagine them through collective care and interdependence.

Through an intersectional, decolonial lens, the program will feature presentations, workshops, and excursions, bridging professional and activist perspectives. Participants will reflect, connect, and co-create in a space dedicated to dialogue, learning, and transformative thinking.

The Institute of Social Medicine and Epidemiology at the University of Lübeck invites clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to take part in its well-established Evidence-Based Medicine (EbM) course series, now in its 28th year.

Participants can choose from:
🔹 The 28th Basic Course (Grundkurs)
🔹 The 25th Advanced Course (Aufbaukurs)
🔹 The 6th Course on Systematic Reviews and Evidence Syntheses

Each week-long course blends lectures, seminars, group work, and hands-on exercises. The curriculum is designed to strengthen skills in formulating clinical questions, systematically searching for evidence, and critically appraising research for quality and applicability. The Review course focuses on the planning and evaluation of systematic reviews and other types of evidence syntheses.

Whether you're starting out or seeking to deepen your EbM practice, these courses provide a solid foundation for integrating high-quality evidence into healthcare decision-making.
