SSPH+ Lugano Summer School

The 31st edition of the Lugano Summer School in Public Health Policy, Economics, and Management (LSS) took place in August 2022 with a record-breaking number of participants joining online and onsite. 195 participants from 4 continents and 62 nationalities, as well as 51 facilitators from 5 continents came together for a week of 15 courses, 7 plenaries, and several networking events. In 2022, Swiss Plexus provided scholarships for participation to the Lugano Summer School. Swiss Plexus is supported by several organizations, including the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Federal Office of the Environment (FOEN).

The project is guided by the steering committee with representatives of SSPH+, USI, SUPSI, and SwissTPH. An Advisory Board was formed including individuals from Fondation Botnar, Health For All Project in Albania, Julius Baer Foundation, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences (A+), National University of Kyiv, and World Bank. You can see the plenaries from last year on the SSPH+ YouTube channel.

The 2023 edition will run from 16-17 and 21- 26 August, again offering 15 on-site, online, and hybrid courses and 4 plenaries that are free to the public. Check out the programme and other information on our website and LinkedIn.
