Inhoud

In December 2008 NSPOH in consortium with the Social Medicine Department of the Academic Medical Centre/University of Amsterdam organises the two-week training course Applied Public Health. The course consists of modules, workshops, competence training and site visits. The course is organised under the Matra programme of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Public health issues increasingly transcend national boundaries and governments. In a globalising world health problems and solutions reach across national borders, resulting in the need for international collaboration. Emerging infections are a good example of the necessity for cross-border cooperation.
In the new member states and the (potential) candidate member states in Central and Eastern Europe and  in the neighbouring countries of the European Union (EU) an increasing need for collaborative and cross-border public health training is felt. There is a demand for opportunities to exchange expertise and experiences, to network and to develop joint action to protect, promote and improve the health of the population.

The course is aimed at public health policy makers and experts with a senior position in governmental bodies or a position in national public health institutes with ample experience research and education in public health from the following countries:

• New EU-member states: Bulgaria and Romania
• Candidate-member states: Croatia, Turkey, Macedonia
• Potential candidate-member states: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo
• Eastern and southern EU-neighbours: Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Jordan, Morocco
