GlobalP3HS

In 2023, the SSPH+ Global PhD Fellowship Programme in Public Health Sciences (GlobalP3HS), funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Horizon 2020 - COFUND) and Fondation Botnar, went into its fifth year. This program supports 51 young scientists that perform cutting-edge research and are keen to become the next generation of public health leaders in both the academic and non-academic sector. GlobalP3HS students are under the supervision of one of 250 public health faculty members affiliated with an SSPH+ partner. They are enrolled at their supervisor’s university and registered in one of several structured PhD programs led by SSPH+ Faculty members. They follow courses choosing from a wide range of interdisciplinary offers – also provided by the SSPH+ Inter-university Graduate Campus (IGC) – including health economics, public health, epidemiology, social health sciences, nursing or law. Students must pass at least 18 ECTS, including formal training in transferable skills and research ethics. Furthermore, an at least three-month internship in a non-academic institution allows students to explore non-academic career paths as part of the PhD career as well. A key feature of GlobalP3HS is the “sandwich model”: It includes a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) partnership for the PhD thesis, shared supervision, fieldwork and/or research stays in the LMIC, aiming to build sustainable research capacity in LMICs. For more information, contact the GlobalP3HS Program Manager,  Dr. Jorgen Bauwens.
