Global Health Academy
Support for doctoral students and post-docs
The Global Health Academy is a GLOHRA initiative which aims to support the next generation of global health researchers in Germany. The Academy is specifically committed to supporting early career researchers, namely doctoral students and post-docs. The Academy actively aims to include individuals from a broad spectrum of disciplines who have demonstrated an interest in global health research, but who could use assistance in gaining competencies and networking opportunities to assist their career progression.
We host trainings and events, including the Academy Series – a monthly event where research is presented by interdisciplinary guest speakers and discussed in-depth – in a pursuit to increase the number and accessibility of sustainable, high-quality and high-relevance global health research training offerings in Germany.
Find global health research trainings from a broad spectrum of disciplines to advance your career in global health research!

Organs of the Global Health Academy
The Steering Committee leads the Global Health Academy and has appointed the GLOHRA Steering Committee member Prof. Dr. Walter Bruchhausen as Head of Academy to develop its activities and host the Academy Coordinators. Further support is provided by the Academy Advisory Board, made up of representatives from all GLOHRA research areas.
The AAB represents members of all GLOHRA research areas, researchers at all career stages (early to mid-career and senior), researchers from ‘small’ institutions alongside the ‘large’ institutions (this requirement does not refer to the size of the university as such, but to the personnel, funding etc. allocated to Global Health).
