Dates: 22 - 23 September 2025
Location: Bonn
The Global Health Academy invites doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers to take part in an interactive workshop focused on the responsible conduct of science in global health research. Through expert-led sessions, participants will engage in critical discussions and collaborative activities, including a session at the United Nations University on the UN Campus Bonn.
- Good scientific practice and research ethics: Acting with respect and integrity; considering aspects of equity, and sustainability as well as environmental factors (e.g. own carbon emissions) and impacts of research, reflection on power and one’s own positionality.
- Human rights: As fundamental norm and value of global health, which requires attention to gender equality, intersectionality as well as the awareness of obstacles that hinder their progressive achievement.
- Ideologies and social political context: Political ideologies placed in the historical and political context and their ongoing influence on global health research, e.g. Cold War/East-West conflict legacies; fundamentalism and ideological totalitarianism; authoritarianism and nationalism; global capitalism, neoliberalism and free market ideologies.
Insights gathered from this workshop will inform the development of a self-paced online training program. This training will be freely accessible to GLOHRA members via the new GLOHRA Training Platform (launched in 2026).
Therefore, active participation in the workshop will be highly valued as promoting the development of required competencies, not the least as asset to future GLOHRA activities and decisions (proposals, Geneva Field Trip, GLOHRA Day).
Application closed.
