“Germany's role in global health has changed significantly in the last 15 years, and Germany has become one of the major players on the international political stage [...] This strong political position also requires a strong global health research landscape. This is where GLOHRA comes in - with its network of researchers, its fostering of early career researchers and its support of innovative interdisciplinary projects."
We are delighted to share that GLOHRA is featured in an advertorial in DIE ZEIT, Germany’s largest weekly newspaper. The piece highlights GLOHRA's mission to tackle today’s global health challenges via interdisciplinary and collaborative research. While GLOHRA activities cover a diverse range of topics – from the early detection of cancer to gender equality in health and digital approaches in medicine – they share a dedication to innovative, interdisciplinary research built on equitable, international partnerships.
Read the full advertorial [in German] featuring an introduction to GLOHRA, an interview with co-speaker Prof. Dr. Eva Rehfuess as well as a glimpse into six selected research projects.
Globale Herausforderungen – globale Zusammenarbeit „Wir wollen etwas verändern“
The German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA) is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to promote networking and strengthen global health research. Since June 2022, GLOHRA has received funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) for additional measures to strengthen cooperation with partners in low and middle income countries. Over 1000 global health researchers from all disciplines affiliated with nearly 200 research institutions have joined since GLOHRA was founded in February 2020. The elected 19-member interdisciplinary Steering Committee is the strategic decision-making body. The GLOHRA Secretariat is hosted by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
