Climate change, sustainability, and planetary health are global challenges that can only be tackled collectively and on an interdisciplinary basis. The Global Health Day aims to connect scientists from European universities and create a platform for interdisciplinary and international projects in the field of global health.
The next Global Health Day will be hosted by the LMU in spring 2027!
More information will be available soon.
On March 19−20, 2026 the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) hosted the third Global Health Day in collaboration with the European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH).
More than 230 participants from over 30 institutions and universities followed this year’s invitation to the third Global Health Day 2026 at LMU Munich. Over 85 researchers contributed to a vibrant and engaging programme for fellow researchers, students, and everyone interested in the topic “Global Health for Sustainability.”
Inspiring talks highlighted key aspects of sustainability in research, healthcare, education, and participation. Fifteen interactive workshops explored topics such as resilience, society and community, and communication, while also critically reflecting on research practices and their sustainability.
The conference was opened by Prof. Francesca Biagini, Vice President for International Affairs and Diversity at LMU, and Prof. Ralf Ludwig, Chief Sustainability Officer at LMU.
An inspiring keynote was delivered by Prof. György Málovics, Professor at the University of Szeged, focusing on global health and economics in the context of sustainability.
The conference concluded with a dynamic panel discussion featuring experts from diverse fields of global health, including Prof. Annette Peters, Helmholtz Munich; Gabriele Koehler, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development; and Prof. Vesna Tepavčević, University of Novi Sad.
Following the Global Health Day, participants continued the exchange at the MSc/PhD-Symposium, organized by CIHLMU students, on the topic “Building Resilient Futures” featuring talks on the One Health approach in an era of financial and geopolitical shifts.
The organizing team would like to express its sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed their ideas, expertise, and time.
