The Division of Prevention and Health Promotion of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the WHO Collaborating Centre at Université Côte d’Azur, and Ulysseus European University are now accepting applications for the 2027 summer school “Systems thinking and innovation for the prevention of noncommunicable diseases and a healthy ageing population in the WHO European Region”.
The summer school is designed for PhD students and early and mid-career professionals, including researchers, postgraduate students, health practitioners and policy-makers interested in applying systems thinking and systems-based approaches to advance evidence-based policies, strengthen multisectoral collaboration and improve policy implementation through innovation.
The summer school explores the theory and use of systems thinking and systems-based approaches to tackle the complex challenges of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors. Its aim is to build participants’ capacity and expertise in the application of systems-based methods for problem-solving and innovation, and to translate these methods into practical strategies that advance NCD prevention and promote healthy ageing. Participants can expect a combination of interactive learning, hands-on exercises and project-based work, including the opportunity to apply systems-thinking approaches to their own projects, ensuring that learning is directly relevant to their professional context.
