At the University of Hamburg, many staff members and students participate in the programs offered by the Europe-wide university alliance.

Starting in 2027, the “European University Alliance for Global Health” (EUGLOH) will receive funding from the European Commission for another two years as part of the “European Universities Initiative.” This will allow for the further strengthening of established Europe-wide structures in the areas of teaching, research, innovation, and knowledge transfer.

EUGLOH is one of 65 European university alliances, and its members develop joint teaching and research programs centered on global health to create international synergies and learn from one another. The announcement of the successful renewal comes during the University of Hamburg’s current presidency of the alliance.

Deepening Cooperation and Expansion

The new project phase, EUGLOH 2Plus, will focus on deepening institutional collaboration, further developing a transnational European campus, and strengthening future skills among graduates. All activities will place a special emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. In addition to researchers and students, the various mobility and educational opportunities are also aimed at administrative staff.

With this continued funding, the University of Amsterdam’s official accession as EUGLOH’s tenth member university also becomes official. By welcoming the largest university in the Netherlands, EUGLOH strengthens both the diversity and the excellence of its academic portfolio. At the same time, this accession expands the alliance’s geographic reach and opens up new opportunities.

University of Hamburg and EUGLOH

The University of Hamburg has been a member of EUGLOH since 2021 and is involved in numerous projects. For example, this year’s “EUGLOH Annual Summit” will take place in Hamburg in September. The theme of the meeting is “Science and the City: Exploring Pathways for Global Health Innovation.” Further information on the alliance’s numerous activities and opportunities for participation is available on the EUGLOH website.
